Saucony, the global performance running and lifestyle brand, has reintroduced the ProGrid Paramount, a silhouette with foundations in the brand’s performance archive. First launched in 2007, the ProGrid Paramount was designed around Saucony’s ProGrid cushioning technology to deliver responsive comfort and support. The tech remains at the core of the updated model. The new shoe features a breathable mesh upper with minimal synthetic overlays, supported by Arch-Lock medial support and a moulded TPU heel cup for stability and structure. Reflective details nod to the shoe’s technical origins. In a departure from Saucony’s traditional design, the Paramount does not feature the brand’s side river logo. Instead, there’s subtle branding on the heel and tongue label, reinforcing the understated aesthetic.
