The Saucony Endorphin Azura is the newest addition to Saucony’s popular Endorphin shoe lineup, sitting somewhere between the everyday Endorphin Shift and the speed-focused Endorphin Speed. It’s designed as a non-plated, high-energy daily trainer that still uses Saucony’s premium PWRRUN PB foam — the same foam found in the brand’s racing shoes — but without the carbon or nylon plate.
My colleague Nick Harris-Fry and I have been testing the Azura across a range of runs, including easy miles, longer runs, tempo efforts, and intervals. Our impressions are that it packs a touch of race-day pep into what is otherwise a very reliable daily trainer. Here’s a closer look at the details and our thoughts.
