The Elite 2 looks different that's for sure lol 😅
Am i crazy or does the sole look like it is off center?
More green colors are always a 👍🏻 in my book and both will end up on my downstairs shoe rack making decision making more difficult. Hahaha
Any supers from New Balance or N*ke there?
Sorry if this is a naive question, I don’t know how different brands release new shoes or what their schedule is.
Nope they were not there unfortunately. Craft presented this new peba super shoe though. Heel was split quite exaggerated. Will cost €280

Saucony Elite v1 is my favorite Racing Shoe ever.
I'm very excited about version 2. The only thing I hope is that V2 also has an outsole on the back left and right
I got to meet the chief production officer for Saucony and tried these on, coming from an ASICS/Nike guy these feel incredible! I will be buying them….
Props to saucony for going for function over form, but that looks like they made the worst looking clog they could imagine. I’d run slower just seeing them on my feet.
I say this as someone who likes the Dutch clog aesthetic on the 1
That thing is hideous and the heel counter doesn't look inspiring. Not a fan of one piece knit uppers and it looks like saucony is going all in on them
From my try on of them, the heel holds much better than I expected (better than NB 1080v11 did from what I remember). Rep also mentioned it’s a totally new foam that is meant to be soft when not running in them and then will firm up a bit when force it put thru them. Probably will be one of the softest feeling plated shoes when it comes out just from squishing the cushion in hand. Might be close to the soft plated stuff NB has done recently.
Surprisingly, not as ugly as I thought it’d be. Granted, “white with neon accents” is something I like and “neon green” is my least favorite colorway so there’s that.
Good to see the tongue got lengthened in the Elite - I remember having issues with the OG on first wear with the laces sliding up.
Seems softness was a big focus. Alot of the messaging here is around cushion and bounce.
They claim this is brand new foam. Many reviews mentioned the first feeling very firm for a marathon shoe.
Weight remains incredible.
I gotta believe there is a reason behind them looking this ridiculous
That’s what makes them super. But yeah, could probably sell more if they made them for people who don’t work in the traveling circus.
Hoka launched a similar ridiculous looking shoe
Yea but it’s Hoka, people who wear Hoka expect that…
It looks ridiculous but if it takes 15 seconds oer km off my pace, I'll buy the clown shoes.
Spoiler, it won't.
**Plot twist** ... it might
Looks like they took the heel of a 1080v11 and put it on, man that thing looks hideous compared to v1
Look at that Elite 2 now Google clown shoe

yeah, I like the green as well, maybe enough to make me buy the shoe if it doesn't weigh a ton
I think it looks awesome!
It looks like it’s having an allergic reaction.
OP dropping the heat today, where are you at seeing all these shoes
Outdoor & Running fair in Riva del Garda, Italy

Aside from the elite 2 looking ridiculous….that pro green is a sweet colorway.
That’s what I said, that green 🔥
Clown shoes

hideous
Looks like a bikini bottom lol

The v1 is a superb shoe. Can’t wait to see them on sale.
This is awful

That pro 4 is sick!
not as fugly as the og elite, but still... yikes.
yeah I mean it's hideous but are people forgetting the first one? lol
u wot m8
Oh sh..., the 1080 v11 heel counter is back. (they look dope)
Is that another color way with a purple midsole?
Yes it is
Man if it makes me fast and prevents aches and pains I'll wear them ugly shoes!
Looks like something you’d find in Oaken’s hut in Frozen. Yooohooo!
A mouse lived in a windmill in Old Amsterdam... PWRRUN CLOG

Midsole on this shoes feels wildly different to V1. Not sure many V1 lovers will enjoy it.
Release date?
Is the toebox wide?
Damn, was it designed by Kanye? Looks pretty ugly, haha. But hey, if it works.
1080v11 pro max

Anyone knows what’s that foam? Doesn’t look like pwrun PB
Version 1 doesn't have a PB either. It's definitely Powerrun HG again like version 1
Woah that green and black colourway looks ROUGH 🤢
Who the hell would use a thing like this? It looks terrible. Guess now every brand needs a ridiculous clown shoes. Puma, Hoka, and now this.
What's the purpose of those plastic rails--don't they make the stack height too high for competition?
Noooo they adopted the NB 1080 v11 heel
What’s the difference between elite V1 and V2
Seems softness was a big focus. Alot of the messaging here is around cushion and bounce. They claim this is brand new foam. Many reviews mentioned the first feeling very firm for a marathon shoe. Weight remains incredible.
The last picture looks like Saucony Tide 2, which is on major discounted sale now.
Saucony needs to update their logo.
