Saucony Footwear & Apparel

Saucony is a premier American brand specializing in high-performance running shoes, apparel, and lifestyle footwear. Founded in 1898 along the banks of the Saucony Creek in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, the brand has grown from a local cobbler to a global leader in athletic innovation. The name itself is derived from the Lenni Lenape Native American word 'saconk,' which translates to 'where two rivers run together,' reflecting the brand's heritage.

Over the decades, Saucony became a household name in the running community, especially after the running boom of the 1970s and 80s. While the brand originated and remains designed in the United States, its manufacturing is distributed across multiple countries, including Vietnam, Indonesia, and China, to meet global demand. Despite changing corporate hands through acquisitions by the Stride Rite Corporation and later Collective Brands, it is now part of a major American retail portfolio.

In 2012, Saucony was acquired by Wolverine World Wide, Inc., a Michigan-based conglomerate. Under this ownership, Saucony continues to focus on technical advancements like their signature PWRRUN cushioning systems and Endorphin speed technology, ensuring they remain a top choice for competitive runners and casual enthusiasts alike.
