Run More Miles in Saucony Kinvara 5

The call to run is strong with the release of the highly celebrated Kinvara 5. Saucony, one of the industry leaders and the favored running shoe of today’s elite athletes, unveils the fifth generation of the award-winning natural motion running shoe highlighting the brand’s steadfast commitment to consistent innovation and optimum performance.

Launched in early 2010, the Kinvara was among the first natural motion running shoes available in the marketplace and continues to position Saucony as an industry-leader in the natural footwear category. With the fifth version of the leading-edge favorite, Saucony earns more accolades as the go-to shoe for runners who want more performance for less bulk.

Runner’s World recognizes the innovative properties of Kinvara 5, naming the newly updated natural running shoe as the “Editor’s Choice” in the Runner’s World 2014 Fall Shoe Guide. The Kinvara 5 received the highest marks of the shoes reviewed by the publication’s shoe lab, wear-testers and editors to capture the prestigious award. With improved comfort and durability, the latest edition of Kinvara lifts the standards of performance footwear by providing a natural running shoe that’s far better for longer.

Kinvara 5 comes packed with upgrades that are built to enhance movement and increase efficiency from the sole to the upper. The new Kinvara 5 delivers the best of the brand’s performance engineering philosophy in an extremely lightweight and streamlined package: A slightly wider platform delivers a more powerful toe-off. Extra rubber in the outsole improves the shoe’s resilience, while the midsole cushioning technology provides superior impact protection and more stability. Like its acclaimed predecessor, the fifth edition offers a 4mm heel-to-toe drop that helps the runner achieve a greater range of motion and a more natural stride.

PLDT-Bike King’s Coach Peter Gonzales affirms the significance of the 4mm heel-to-toe drop, saying this is one of the advantages of wearing Kinvara. “It sets up your foot for the push-off, the power stroke of the stride, when you’re running,” he explains. “[For the Kinvara 5, I’m] looking forward to better features like the redesigned mesh upper together with the ProLock™ lacing system to provide a more snug fit.”

With the Kinvara 5, Saucony delivers a shoe with a precision engineered upper that is lighter, more durable and flexible due to the FlexFilm™ technology. Runners can also enjoy a more comfortable running experience due to a smoother and softer lining of the redesigned collar featuring a RunDry™ lining for superior moisture wicking properties. The Kinvara 5 also features a ProLock™ lacing system born from the brand’s track and field bloodline. The innovative fit system encases the foot and locks it to the foot’s platform with adjustable straps on either side of the midfoot, allowing for even greater on-road control.

The secure fit of the Kinvara 5 is a feature Coach PJ Rivera of TriMac Coaching is excited to experience, along with the efficient balance of minimal weight and impact protection the series is known for. “With Kinvara, you get the best of both worlds,” he says. “You get a very light and responsive shoe with just enough cushioning.”

The Kinvara 5 and Saucony’s other award-winning shoe models and apparel are available at the Saucony store located at the 2nd flr of Glorietta 3 in Makati City and specialty retailers: Runnr in Bonifacio High Street and TriNoma, Toby’s Mall of Asia, Sports Central Megamall, major SM Department Stores nationwide, and Robinsons Place Manila Department Store.
