Saucony is one of the world’s leading performance running lifestyle brands, and the Endorphin Pro is the brand’s fastest franchise … which makes it extremely propulsive and nimble by any standard.

Now, Saucony’s elite racing shoe’s looks finally match its performance capabilities, thanks to a new metallic makeover that brings futuristic style to the present.

Elite speed

The latest take on the Endorphin Pro 5 comes by way of a collaborative effort between Saucony and Minted New York, a New York City-based, creator-led apparel brand founded in 2021.

The third collaboration between the brands, it builds upon a shared commitment to quality, precision and, as the latest shoe makes abundantly clear, style.

The speedy super shoe has been given a metallic, futuristic revision, with carefully considered chrome details that quite literally let the silhouette shine.

The Minted New York x Saucony Endorphin Pro 5 features a hyper-reflective chrome-painted midsole, zig-zag mesh upper, metallic silver laces and Minted New York’s signature “Minted Blue” accents, which come together to create a cohesive, eye-catching aesthetic.

While its looks have been given a refined upgrade, the technical components that already made the Endorphin Pro 5 shine are retained in the limited-edition release.

These features include award-winning Endorphin Collection DNA, including PwrRun PB and PwrRun HG cushioning for energy return, a full carbon fiber plate for propulsion and a proprietary rubber outsole for enhanced grip.
