The Kinvara has always been Saucony‘s light, fast daily trainer, the shoe you reach for when you want a ride that doesn’t slow you down. The Kinvara 16 keeps that spirit with a refreshed PWRRUN foam formulation and a more structured heel collar that doesn’t sacrifice the flexibility the model is known for.
At 7.2 oz for a men’s 9, the Kinvara 16 is one of the lighter options in daily training. The stack is 29mm / 25mm. Moderate, not extreme. It rewards a midfoot strike and punishes nothing else. This is a shoe for people who want to run, not just look like runners.
Available now in five colorways at Saucony.com and run specialty. Retail is $120.
