Saucony Endorphin Azura - The Plateless Endorphin Built for Every Run

The Endorphin Azura is the newest addition to Saucony's performance lineup — a plateless daily trainer that brings the bouncy, energetic feel of the Endorphin family to the full range of your training week. It delivers genuine energy return and smooth transitions across easy miles, tempo efforts, and everything in between, without the commitment of a plated shoe.

 

 

PWRRUN PB Superfoam and SpeedRoll Geometry

The Azura is built around a 40mm heel and 32mm forefoot stack of PWRRUN PB — the same PEBA-based superfoam found in the Endorphin Speed — but with more of it and no plate. The result is a ride that feels cushioned and bouncy at easy paces and genuinely responsive when the effort increases. SpeedRoll geometry drives smooth, forward-rolling transitions from heel to toe, keeping the stride efficient and consistent whether you're warming up or pushing a tempo effort. At 8.5oz for men and 7.5oz for women, it carries its stack height without feeling heavy on the foot.

 

 

A Breathable Upper Built for Daily Miles

The engineered mesh upper wraps the foot in a secure, lightweight fit with good lockdown through the midfoot. A padded heel collar keeps comfort consistent across longer efforts, whilst the breathable construction manages heat and moisture effectively throughout the run. XT-900 carbon rubber is placed strategically on the outsole for reliable grip and durability in the high-wear zones.
