Cities rarely move one speed. Some people race between appointments, chasing the next destination, while others take the longer route, letting the familiar routes guide them to their destination. Saucony and Highsnobiety return to explore those different rhythms with a two-sneaker collaboration that brings performance running and everyday style together. The collection pairs the Endorphin Pro 5 with the ProGrid Paramount, giving each silhouette its own identity through autumnal colourways and a shared connection to urban life.
The accompanying campaign takes this idea to Paris, following Naomi Clement and Laura Segretier as they navigate the city on seperate routes. Their paths repeatedly cross, but the two never quite meet. These missed connections become the story’s central thread, capturing the small coincidences that define life in a busy city. One sneaker is built for speed, the other for the everyday journey, yet both belong to the same urban lifestyle.
Race-Day Technology Meets Autumn Colour
The Endorphin Pro 5 leads with a palette of Chocolate Brown, Doe and Egret, offset by silver elements and brighter accents of Spectra Yellow and Tomato. Underneath, the colour the shoe remains focused on performance. Saucony combines PWRRUN HG foam with a PWRRUN PB foam base to deliver lightweight, responsive cushioning, while a slotted carbon-fibre plate works alongside SPEEDROLL technology to encourage smooth forward movement. A PWRTRAC rubber outsole completes the design with grip and durability for race days and speed sessions.
The ProGrid Paramount Takes a Different Route
The ProGrid Paramount offers a quieter alternative. Originally launched in 2007, the silhouette moves away from Saucony’s more familiar visual language by leaving out the signature side river logo. Instead, subtle branding appears on the heel and tongue, giving the shoe a cleaner, more understated finish.
For this release, Coconut Milk, Wood Ash and Almond Oil form the base palette, joined by silver, Ombre Blue and Mars Red accents. Reflective details on the tongue, webbing, heel webbing and heel counter add technical touches without overwhelming the design.
One City, Different Rhythms
Together, the two silhouettes reflect the different ways of experiencing the same place. The Endorphin Pro 5 represents movement with a clear goal, built to perform when every second matters. the ProGrid Paramount takes a more relaxed approach, drawing on Saucony’s archive to create a design for the spaces between destinations.
The Saucony x Highsnobiety collection launches through saucony.com, highsnobiety.com and selected EU retailers. The collaborative collection launches on 15 October 2026 with a retail price of £250 / €270 for the Endorphin Pro 5 and £170 / €190 for the ProGrid Paramount.
