Saucony is bringing back the ProGrid Ride 1 in a White and Buttercup Yellow colorway, a reissue of the early 2000s performance runner that helped define what the brand stood for in distance footwear. This is a direct return of a silhouette built around serious running credentials, dressed in a color combination that balances clean white construction with a bold yellow accent throughout.
Saucony has been making running shoes since the early twentieth century, rooting the brand in athletic performance long before lifestyle and retro releases became part of the conversation. Over the decades the company built a reputation among serious runners by focusing on cushioning systems and fit, and that commitment carried into the performance running boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s when the category became increasingly competitive. The ProGrid Ride 1 came out of that era, a time when Saucony was refining its approach to long-distance comfort and competing directly with other brands chasing the daily trainer market. The model earned its place in running circles by offering a balance of cushioning and responsiveness that resonated with runners logging real miles.
This reissue holds on to the engineering that made the original work. The upper is built on an open-cell mesh base layer that allows airflow during movement, with synthetic leather overlays in white and metallic silver adding structure over that breathable foundation. The Buttercup yellow appears on the branding and carries through to the tread rubber outsole, which pulls the whole look together without overwhelming the clean white base. The midsole uses a dual-density construction paired with Saucony’s ProGrid heel technology, a cushioning system designed to absorb impact and hold up across long stretches of wear, whether you are running or moving through a regular day. Lacing is standard, and sizing runs in U.S. men’s measurements. The broader return of 2000s running silhouettes in the sneaker market gives this reissue a wider audience than it might have found at any other moment, but the shoe itself does not need to lean on trends because the original tooling and materials do the work.
The Saucony ProGrid Ride 1 in White and Buttercup Yellow is available now for $140. If this release has you interested in more from Saucony, it is worth looking into the rest of the brand’s retro running catalog and other returning performance silhouettes from the same era.
