We’re excited to be welcoming the Saucony Endorphin Azura into our running shoe line-up this February, a new addition that brings a fresh take on performance-inspired daily training. Sitting within the popular Endorphin family, the Azura is designed for runners who want a fast, energetic feel without committing to a plated shoe.
At the heart of the Endorphin Azura is Saucony’s premium PWRRUN PB foam, delivering a lightweight, responsive ride that feels lively underfoot. Unlike other models in the Endorphin range, the Azura does away with carbon or nylon plates, instead relying on its foam geometry to provide smooth transitions and natural forward momentum. This makes it a versatile option for runners looking for one shoe that can comfortably handle steady runs, tempo sessions and uptempo daily miles.
The shoe features a balanced 8mm drop and a well-cushioned platform, offering protection for longer runs while still feeling quick and agile. The breathable upper provides a secure yet accommodating fit, helping the Azura appeal to a broad range of runners, from those stepping into performance footwear for the first time to experienced runners wanting a flexible training companion. A durable outsole adds confidence underfoot, whether you’re training on roads or well-maintained paths.
From a retail perspective, the Endorphin Azura fills an important gap in the market. Many runners want the feel of a race-day shoe without the stiffness or specificity of a plated model, and the Azura answers that need perfectly. It’s a shoe we expect to resonate strongly with customers seeking a responsive, modern trainer that’s comfortable enough for everyday use.
Landing in February, the Saucony Endorphin Azura is set to be a standout option for 2026 training rotations.
