Saucony ProGrid Paramount: Performance DNA, Refined for the Street

Saucony continues its quiet resurgence in the lifestyle space by digging deep into its performance archive, this time reviving a silhouette that first made waves in the late 2000s. Enter the ProGrid Paramount, a runner-turned-lifestyle model that blends technical heritage with a clean, elevated aesthetic built for modern wear.

Originally launched in 2007, the Paramount returns with its performance soul intact, but reworked for today’s fashion-conscious audience.

A Closer Look at the Saucony ProGrid Paramount…

At the heart of the ProGrid Paramount is Saucony’s signature ProGrid cushioning technology, a system engineered to deliver responsive comfort and stability underfoot. That same performance-first approach defines the updated iteration, which arrives with a breathable mesh upper, paired with minimal synthetic overlays for a lighter, more streamlined look. Arch-Lock medial support provides a secure, locked-in feel, while a moulded TPU heel cup adds structure and stability, making the shoe as functional as it is wearable.

Subtle reflective hits act as a quiet nod to the model’s technical running origins, but the biggest design shift comes in the branding. In a bold departure from Saucony’s usual visual language, the iconic side river logo is nowhere to be seen. Instead, understated branding appears on the heel and tongue label, reinforcing the Paramount’s refined, almost minimalist presence. It’s a move that positions the silhouette firmly in the lifestyle lane without erasing its athletic roots.

Bridging past and present, Saucony’s campaign imagery leans into motion-led visuals that reference the shoe’s performance DNA, connecting its running heritage to its contemporary street-ready identity. It’s a thoughtful reintroduction that feels intentional rather than nostalgic.
