This year, Valentine’s Day is for the girls.
Ahead of Feb. 14, Saucony has unveiled new versions of two of its women’s running shoe styles, the Triumph 22 and the ProGrid Triumph 4. The limited-edition sneakers are meant to celebrate the most important women in your life, emphasizing the movement in recent years to make Valentine’s Day inclusive of non-romantic love, à la Galentine’s Day, which celebrates female friendship.
You won’t find any pink, red, or heart motifs on the appropriately named Galentine’s Day Triumph 22 and Galentine’s Day ProGrid Triumph 4. Instead, Saucony leaned into neutral shades with subtle, feminine details that are crowd-pleasing not merely for the month of February, but year-round.
The Galentine’s Day Triumph 22 is one of the heritage American running brand’s top cushioned running shoe styles for women, designed to support you on daily runs. It utilizes Saucony’s PWRRUN PB foam for lots of cushioning and comfort, boasting more energy return than its predecessors.
Watch on FN
The Galentine’s Day edition has all the same performance specs as other Triumph 22 kicks, but is rendered in a flattering cream shade reminiscent of the perfect off-white linen shirt. The cream knit upper is accented with gold and cream leather details. Arguably the most interesting detail is the scalloped shoe lace, which provides a subtle dash of design thoughtfulness.
With its neutral support, the Galentine’s Day Triumph 22 sneakers are also excellent walking shoes for women who aren’t runners.
The Galentine’s Day ProGrid Triumph 4 features the same luxurious cream and gold neutral tones. Originally launched in 2007, the ProGrid Triumph 4 is inspired by chunky, retro style sneakers. Also a proven running shoe, the medial panel features Saucony’s Arch-lock technology for superior arch support.
The Galentine’s Day version combines white and light gold metallic leather with cream-colored mesh for a harmonious, tonal color palette. These comfortable shoes for women are athletically equipped for your next run, but chic enough to be your go-to sneakers for running around town.
Both the Galentine’s Day ProGrid Triumph 4 and Galentine’s Day Triumph 22 come with a removable tag that reads “crème de la crème,” a fitting nod to the gals in your life who deserve to know how loved they are.
Priced at $160, both limited-edition styles are available to shop now on Saucony.com.
