New Saucony Kinvara TR2 - Fall 2013

Saucony will be updating the Trail model of the successful Kinvara series in the Fall of 2013. The flashy Kinvara TR2 looks to be built on a similar platform and featuers a carbon fiber rock plate in the midsole. The use of carbon fiber delivers improved flexibility and durability while keeping feet protected from sharp objects. Saucony has also improved the cushioning in the Kinvara TR2, upgrading from ProGrid to Saucony PowerGrid cushioning in the heel.  The SauconyKinvara TR2 will retail for $100 as should be out in late 2013.

Saucony Virrata - Spring 2013

RunningShoes.com was able to speak with Saucony’s Vice President of Footwear at Outdoor Retailer 2012. Dan explains Saucony’s new zero drop Virrata and how it fits into Saucony’s ever evolving minimalist footwear offering. The Virrata looks to be a great medley of minimalism and cushioning with 188mm of EVA from heel to toe. Bootie construction in the upper means runners can go sockless and weighing 6.5 oz will feel featherweight on the foot. Look for the Saucony Virrata in February 2013 for $90.
