A brand new upper makes this sold-out shoe one of the best racers out there.
. Cosmetically, the Pro+ looks simpler and fresh, stripped of that crazy checkered pattern that was a divisive feature amongst testers. Some flaunted it, others just went with it. But functionality-wise, the new upper is a major upgrade.Saucony uses three key technologies, called Speedroll, to make the Pro the fastest shoe in its Endorphin series. To promote a quick turnover, the midsole is curved for a rocking chair-like effect where you feel like you’re slightly tipping forward.
While developing the Pro 3, the brand’s product team had conversations with its elite runners, including Jared Ward, Laura Thweatt, and Parker Stinson. The overall consensus was that they absolutely loved the Pro 1 and 2, shared Saucony product line manager Jessie Petersen withon a video call. But, one change would make the shoe even more race-ready: a more “deconstructed” upper. And so, as the team was in the process of creating the Pro’s third version, the Plus came to be.
Think of the Plus as a behind-the-scenes look at an intermediary model usually only worn and tested by elites. It’s a surprise release to keep us all sated as we wait for the Pro 3, which is tentatively scheduled to launch in June 2022.“Several years ago, you’d make prototypes for an athlete and people would wonder what it was but it never went to retail,” said Petersen. “You never could find it, it wasn’t available.
The Plus is about half an ounce lighter than the Pro 2. Saucony trimmed down the weight by replacing the upper’s cloth-like engineered mesh with ultralight mesh and suede. It feels airier and has a second-skin fit like a track spike. The tongue has perforated holes for more breathability, and the lacing system is slightly curved, which makes the fit more secure and relieves pressure on the top of your foot.
