The new shoes bring together plant-based dyes in the upper with a 55% corn-based PWRRUN BIO+ midsole foam to help limit the dependence on plastic. The 80% natural rubber outsole is engineered to offer the same level of performance as a synthetic sole. Saucony Triumph RFG’s key features include:

It’s not the first time Saucony has created more environmentally friendly products. Among these projects is Saucony’s Spring 2020 apparel line (nearly 100% of styles were made in part with organic, recycled or renewable materials) and the Jazz Court RFG in 2021, crafted using only seven natural materials and zero plastic – it was Saucony’s most eco-friendly shoe at the time.
However, this announcement marks the start of a more robust effort to put the performance running company on a fully sustainable route. “Saucony continues to make progress in its sustainability journey, and the Triumph RFG is just one of many Saucony styles to be reimagined with the future of the planet at the forefront,” said Brian Moore, senior vice president of global product for Saucony.
As part of its sustainability strategy, Saucony has initiated the RFG Standard. This baseline measurement indicates if a product meets the brand’s sustainability goals while continuing to deliver on the performance consumers need. A product that meets those standards, such as the Triumph RFG, earns the RFG Badge.
The Triumph RFG will be available in men’s sizes 7-15 and women’s sizes 5-12 at a suggested retail price of £175/ $160 (approx. AU$ 248) from 7 September 2023 atSauconyand select retailers globally.
