PREVIEW Endorphin Elite - The Ultimate in the Endorphin Family

Endorphin Elite is considered a Super Shoe that the brand has completely overhauled, packing it with brand-new technology. The brand has gone all out, pouring in all its knowledge, technology, and design to maximize the shoe's speed and responsiveness.
.
Let's take a look at what new technologies are featured in the Endorphin Elite and which ones will impress the wearer.

UPPER
Two materials were chosen and combined to highlight the strengths of each while offsetting their respective weaknesses, creating a new kind of perfect balance. The Endorphin Elite uses knit fabric and mesh because knit fabric feels comfortable but adds weight, while mesh provides lightness. The upper is designed with different materials in various areas, prioritizing comfort and lightness. It also features a thin TPU band running down the center of the shoe for a more secure fit. (This will need to be tested to see if it provides a good fit or causes irritation.)

MIDSOLE

This can be considered the hub of all the new technologies Saucony has released. Let's take a look at each part.

- PWRRUN HG, the brand's latest foam, which they claim is the next level beyond PWRRUN PB. Just hearing that makes it exciting and makes you think it will be even more responsive. And seeing the materials and technology used to create the foam is truly impressive. They used
e-PEBA material and formed the foam using a supercritical method. The material and method alone are very interesting, as only a few brands use this method.

- CARBON FIBER PLATE, a new carbon plate design with slots cut into the front. It really looks like the end of a fork. This is likely designed to create flexibility and a smooth transfer and return of force at the forefoot. Many people may have already tried or used this type of carbon plate from other brands, but combining it with the foam on top will surely provide a new and different feel.
.
* However, it is worth noting that the Endorphin Elite features a four-layer construction: two layers of PWRRUN HG foam, sandwiched with a fork-like carbon fiber plate, and topped with an insole (made from PWRRUN PB material, the same material used for the Endorphin Pro midsole). Each layer in this stack is sure to impress the wearer.

OUTSOLE

It still uses premium XT-900 carbon rubber, the same as the Endorphin Pro. The rubber outsole is thin but still provides good grip and durability.

.
P.S. The Endorphin Elite is also considered a sustainable shoe because the materials used are eco-friendly and do not pollute the planet.
.
Conclusion : The Saucony Endorphin Elite is an interesting Super Shoe in terms of the new technologies incorporated. It is expected to help runners unleash their full potential and make running faster and smoother.
