For its latest collaboration, Saucony has teamed up with Black Girls Run! (BGR), an organization dedicated to motivating Black women to practice a healthy lifestyle.
The two worked together to create a limited-edition iteration of the Endorphin Speed 4.
The BGR version of the Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 neutral running shoe is executed in hues synonymous with the organization: black and pink. The uppers are predominantly black and they sit atop midsoles and outsoles that are dressed in a can’t-miss hot pink hue. Saucony’s branding on the lateral side is silver and white, and there are hits of silver throughout the shoe.
In terms of technology, the Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 is built with Speedroll, which is the brand’s innovation created to offer improved speed and forward motion. The race-ready model also features Saucony’s Pwrrun PB midsole compound, which was added to offer both cushioning and energy return, as well as a re-engineered winged nylon plate for reinforcement while maintaining flexibility. The uppers feature zonal mesh construction for a secure fit, and Saucony employed lattice-designed outsoles for both traction and durability.
The BGR x Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 arrives Sept. 16 via Saucony.com and Fleet Feet. It will retail for $170.
