Saucony Triumph 23: Premium cushioning for your daily training runs.
Saucony's Triumph line has always been synonymous with comfort and cushioning for runners seeking to cover long distances with maximum comfort. With the arrival of the Saucony Triumph 23, the American brand has further perfected its flagship model, introducing significant improvements over its predecessor, the Triumph 22.
What's new in the Triumph 23?
Weight reduction is probably the most important improvement. Although the Triumph 22 offered great cushioning, it felt somewhat bulky and less agile, weighing 286g. In the Triumph 23, Saucony has adjusted the composition of the PWRRUN PB foam in the midsole, maintaining its absorption capacity but making it lighter and softer. Its weight is 263g.
The Triumph 23 incorporates a lighter and more breathable engineered mesh, maintaining comfort while improving air circulation, which translates to cooler feet throughout the run, thus addressing the breathability issue of the previous version. Additionally, the tongue has been padded to increase the feeling of comfort without adding extra grams.
The outsole of the Triumph 23 has been reinvented, eliminating unnecessary rubber areas and optimizing the design to offer smoother transitions and a more natural and progressive stride.
Who is the Saucony Triumph 23 for?
The Triumph 23 is designed for neutral runners looking for a daily training shoe with maximum cushioning and comfort. It is especially suitable for:
- Medium to heavy runners: its structure and cushioning efficiently support weights over 80 kg.
- Medium and long-distance training: ideal for long runs at moderate paces (+4:30 min/km).
- Runners who prioritize comfort: its softness and fit make every stride a pleasure.
