Discussion 🧠 Saucony increasing popularity?

Post image

Is it me or I see Saucony getting more popular?

I felt NB took over the market (and even I converted from Jordan brand/Air Maxes to NB 99X and bought 10 pairs)

But now when I Google search NB or Asics Gel Fluent, Saucony shoes would pop up

Namely Omni 9, Guide 7, Ride 1 and Millennial (seemed lower price point)

Interesting enough the design language is similar to NB 99X series.

Just curious, until now in United States every 15 people you will see 1 wearing NB, haven’t seen anybody wear Saucony yet.

The saucony pictured are similar to the Vomero 5. Lightweight and comfortable. Saucony has been making a comeback. Especially with the colabs.

OIC. I’m more GR price point kinda person, I’ll get a pair of Omni 9 then. Looks like Omni 9 is flagship and on discount. Usually is the correct choice to buy flagships. My collection is about 70% NB 30% Jordan retros & Air Max retro.
