Just want to put y'all on watch, I have tried some saucony prototypes and they are a real deal competitor to any superspike out there. Can't say anymore but be excited for a new spike on the market at some point.

just got my hands on the spikes today, very excited to try them out
I enjoy the Endorphin Pro 2 and will likely like the Pro 3 coming this year. However, I wonder if Saucony will be looking to come out with a 5K-10K super shoe like the latest Adidas Takumi Sen or the Nike StreakFly?
Saucony fell off. I used to love my saucony spikes, but the lack of any competitive offerings compared to other companies is making me think they want to be the go to shoe of hobby joggers. Don't get me wrong, the speed and pro's are great, but they dont offer a flat comparable to other companies and haven't had a spike worthwhile in years. Are these supposed to come out in time for outdoors? or are they gonna miss that mark as well?

I think the speed is singlehandedly saving them in the eyes of competitive runners
I know a bunch of guys who run for nike schools who spend their own money just to have a pair of speeds to train in instead of vaporfly or tempo next%

Not sure, But can say that these spikes are far and away superior for 5000 and 10000 than the dragonfly. I can see why 5000 and under some may still prefer the Nike.
The Speed is great. The Pro is terrible. Seriously a terrible shoe.
I hated my Pro and loved the speed. The pros had heel slip issues and was pretty unforgiving
hope i feel different than you guys. I bought the speed and liked it so much I bought a second pair for storage. but i accidentally ordered the pro instead. I do feel decent walking in it anyway, so i guess it can be a walk around shoe at worse.

It's definitely wearable, just very different from the speed. I know people who've liked it, just depends on you I guess.
11 months after this and we still haven’t seen their super spikes…makes me wonder if they were ever intended to release to the gen public
they're coming out this spring:
endorphin cheetah is one, and the other (name escapes me) seems to be a MD spike.

terminal vt
Saucony Australia
This post was removed.
judging by the leaked catalogue and the terminal vt's higher stack, the cheetah will be the md and the vt will be the ld

The VT looked nice until I looked at the outsole. Total Nike spike copycat which is not conducive to optimal traction.
but... its 3.6 oz, supercritical pebax and the au to usd conversion shows it as 130 dollars...
What are you measuring this by? Normally cheat, ahem, super spikes get you 15 seconds in a 5,000 and these get you 20?
0.02 seconds is the difference between a world record and Olympic gold
