DESCRIPTION

Saucony Triumph 24—is such a big deal, firstly you have to look at how we got here. For over two decades, the Triumph has been the "gold standard" for luxury and high-mileage protection

The Triumph 24 fixes this by moving to a brand-new foam called IncrediLUX. This is an Aliphatic Thermoplastic Polyurethane (A-TPU). Unlike the heavy TPU of the past, this "second wave" foam is chemically engineered to be significantly lighter while keeping that "invincible" durability and temperature stability that TPU is known for. It’s designed to feel firm initially but soften significantly as you move through your gait cycle, giving you a "magically soft" landing.

Max Cushion Meets a Massive Weight Drop

If there is one thing everyone is talking about with this release, it’s the weight. Hitting the scales at approximately (249g) for a men's size 9, it’s half an ounce lighter than the previous version.

But here’s the kicker: it’s lighter despite having more foam underfoot. The Triumph 24 pushes deep into "maximalist" territory with a massive 43mm heel stack and 33mm in the forefoot. You’re getting 3mm more protection than before, but in a package that feels nimble enough for marathon-pace efforts, not just slow recovery jogs.One of the main criticisms of the recent Triumphs was that the plush uppers could get a bit hot during the summer. The Triumph 24 addresses this with a new engineered mesh that prioritises breathability without losing that "premium at every touchpoint" feel. Expect a secure lockdown through the heel and tongue that accommodates a wide range of foot shapes—what Saucony calls a "democratic" fit.
