Men's Running Shoes SAUCONY ENDORPHIN AZURA

Super lightweight without plate for fast, responsive, and comfortable everyday running

Men's running shoes Saucony Endorphin Azura are highly performance-oriented road running shoes for runners who want the feeling of speed and responsiveness of the Endorphin family, but without a carbon or nylon plate. They combine exceptionally light and energy-returning foam PWRRUN PB, the SPEEDROLL™ technology, and a durable outsole XT-900, making them an excellent choice for daily kilometers, tempo runs, and faster workouts.

The entire midsole is made of foam PWRRUN PB, providing soft landings, pronounced flexibility, and efficient energy return. The same foam family is used in Saucony’s faster Endorphin models; in Azura it is combined with a plate-free design. The result is a more natural and adaptable running feel that still offers ample responsiveness when the pace increases.

The SPEEDROLL™ technology helps create a smooth transition from footstrike to toe-off. The shoe’s special geometry encourages forward motion and enables a fluid and efficient running stride, making Azura well-suited for both everyday paces and faster workouts.

The outsole uses durable rubber XT-900, strategically placed on the more heavily loaded parts of the outsole. It provides reliable grip on pavement and helps extend the shoe’s life even with regular training.

With an 8-millimeter heel-to-toe drop, 40 mm heel height and 32 mm forefoot height, Endorphin Azura offers a high-abrasion platform. Still, the men's version weighs only about 240 g, so the shoe retains a light and lively character.

If you’re looking for fast men’s running shoes without a carbon plate that you can wear quite often, Saucony Endorphin Azura is an excellent blend of comfort, speed, and versatility.

Technologies

PWRRUN PB

PWRRUN PB is Saucony’s light and highly responsive foam that combines soft cushioning with efficient energy return. At slower paces it provides comfortable landings; as speed increases, the foam reveals its more responsive and energetic nature.

For the Endorphin Azura, the entire midsole is made of PWRRUN PB, so the underfoot feel is light, flexible, and lively.

SPEEDROLL™

The SPEEDROLL™ technology is one of the key features of the Endorphin family. The shoe’s geometry helps the runner smoothly move forward and improves the transition from footstrike to toe-off.

The result is a fluid running stride that helps maintain cadence and enables a more efficient run both for daily miles and faster paces.

Plate-free design

Endorphin Azura offers a foam without a built-in carbon or nylon plate. This makes the shoe more naturally flexible than highly competitive models, while retaining high responsiveness thanks to the PWRRUN PB foam and SPEEDROLL™ technology.

Such a combination is ideal for runners who want the quick feel of the Endorphin line but do not want to run in a plate-equipped shoe on a daily basis.

XT-900

The outsole XT-900 uses a durable rubber blend designed for regular road training. The rubber is strategically distributed in areas where grip and wear-resistance are most important.

SRS Internal Sleeve

The internal sleeve SRS adds an extra layer of lightweight cushioning directly beneath the foot and contributes to the comfortable feel during daily training.

Lightweight construction

Despite a 40 mm heel stack, the men’s version weighs about 240 grams. The low weight helps maintain a light and quick feel and reduces the perception of heavy feet at higher speeds.
