Saucony has fixed an early-June launch window for the Triumph 24, the next iteration of its flagship max-cushion daily trainer, with a wide release across UK and US specialist retailers from 5 June. The headline change is a brand new midsole foam called IncrediLUX, a TPEE-based formulation that Saucony says delivers a softer, more rebounding feel than the PWRRUN PB used in the Triumph 22 and Triumph 23. Pricing holds the line at £170 in the UK and around $160–$170 in the US, a strong positional choice in a market where competitor max-cushion shoes have crept towards $200.
The Triumph has been Saucony's bestselling road shoe for three of the last four years, and version 24 is the first to fully break from PWRRUN PB since the franchise switched to that beaded foam in 2020. IncrediLUX is closer in chemistry to the IncrediRUN compound used in the Endorphin Elite line of supershoes, but tuned for daily mileage rather than racing — Saucony's product team described it last week as "a softer, more compliant cousin" of the racing foam. Stack heights remain at 37mm heel and 27mm forefoot, holding the 10mm drop that has defined the Triumph since the 19th edition.
The upper is a clean redesign. Out goes the slightly fussy mesh and overlay package on the Triumph 22 and 23, and in comes a single-layer engineered mesh with a structured midfoot panel and a redrawn heel collar that should suit narrower heels better than the previous version's slightly slip-prone design. Reflectivity has been added to the mesh tongue logo and the heel pull tab. Weight comes in at 9.4oz / 266g for a US men's 9, a small uplift over version 23 attributed to the slightly heavier IncrediLUX foam and reinforced heel.
The Triumph 24 sits in the middle of an unusually busy 2026 launch slate for Saucony. The Endorphin Elite 3, the brand's top-tier racing shoe, lands on 1 June at $290 with a slotted carbon plate. The Paramount Max — Saucony's first non-racing shoe to use full-length IncrediRUN — is set for July at $200, and the Endorphin Pro 5 already shipped earlier in the spring. The Triumph 24 is the daily-mileage anchor between those super shoes and the entry-level Ride 18, and the pricing strategy makes it the obvious recommendation for runners who do not want to step up into super-trainer territory.
Saucony has also confirmed a women-specific colourway as part of the launch line-up — a first for the Triumph franchise — alongside three core unisex colourways and a pre-order-only Boston Marathon edition that ships from 8 May. Early review samples handed out at The Running Event in November and reshipped to wider media in March suggest the Triumph 24's biggest gain is in midfoot stability under longer efforts, where the Triumph 23's softer beaded foam had a tendency to bottom out. Whether that gain holds up at 80–100km weekly mileage is what the next round of full reviews, due to land in the first week of June, will need to settle.
