SAUCONY PEREGRINE 13: HIGHLIGHTS
UPPER
Seamless, breathable and recycled upper, which makes the foot be hugged in a comfortable and stable way with the help of a durable, malleable, seamless and well-ventilated nylon reinforced mesh.
As mentioned , the upper part is made of recycled material, in order to reduce the ecological footprint. The mesh upper built in one single piece, “hug” the feet with the heel collar and helps the fit and adjustment even in the most difficult terrain. On the toe box, we can see the typical rock protection and both in the front and the back the gaiter compatible clips.
MIDSOLE
PWRRUN foam provides the responsiveness to keep you quick and agile on the trail. Rock plate ensures protection for pushing uphill and driving downhill with confidence. With its 4 mm drop and 5 mm deeply patterned PWRTRAC rubber, you get excellent ground contact, grip and running feel regardless of the surface.
OUTSOLE
PWRTRAC rubber outsole and rock guard ensure maximum traction and grip on rugged terrain, maximum with the 5 mm lugs that will give a good grip and traction in any kind of terrain, mountains, mud, snow or any similar.
These are in fact the deepest and most widely spaced outsole lugs from Suacony to help us take off of soft terrain without losing speed. Inside the outsole, a ROCK PLATE carbon fiber fabric has been integrated, which distributes the pressure and protects the foot against sharp stones and roots.
SAUCONY PEREGRINE 13: CONCLUSION.
The first thing we would like to highlight is the great weight reduction: going from 310 grams in the Peregrine 11 to 275 grams in the Peregrine 12 and the 260g. of this Peregrine 13.
The trend is confirmed by all brands of running/trailrunning shoes in these moments: get a shoe for the POPULAR runner under 300 grams, balanced, stable and with decent/good durability. The battle with the elites is already down to even 250 grams.
Based on the numbers and what we’ve seen so far, these Peregrine 13 will meet the requirements of any popular trail runner, and even many elites, who want a shoe with long-lasting cushioning, traction, and reliable protection for their workouts. in the technical mountain.
In addition, they will also be good for those who prefer to wear low-drop (4mm) shoes during their training sessions, and why not, competition.
And of course, it will delight all those long-time fans of the Peregrine series who want the same mix of speed and protection, with new features to improve the experience. Every day this Saucony falcon flies higher, without a doubt.
