Saucony has been part of the runner hype for a while now, but the ProGrid Omni 9 “Prism Pack Wisteria” (stylecode S71034-2) is the pair that really lets them do their own thing. A techy runner from the Prism Pack, with a wisteria accent you simply don’t see from other brands.
The outsider that delivers
Everyone is looking at Asics and New Balance, which is exactly why Saucony is such a smart move right now. The ProGrid Omni 9 has everything a good retro runner needs: plenty of layers, techy details, and a shape that works perfectly with wide-leg trousers. The difference is that half the city isn’t wearing them yet. That window is exactly when you want to get in — before the brand follows the same path as the Gel-1130 and starts popping up everywhere.
Wisteria: just different enough
The Prism Pack is all about color accents, and wisteria is a soft lilac-like shade that’s been worked in subtly alongside calmer greys and darker tones. So this isn’t a loud purple sneaker, but a runner that’s just a little more interesting up close than yet another grey pair. Enough to stand out without looking forced. Price-wise, you’re looking at: [sz_price_from stylecode=”S71034-2″]. For a pack release with this level of detail, that’s a solid starting point for comparing shops.
How to style it
This Omni 9 calls for understated clothing around it. Grey or black baggy jeans, an oversized tee or hoodie, and let that color accent do the work. Want to play it a little smarter? Pick up the same color direction in a small detail elsewhere in your outfit — a beanie or a bag, for example. That’s all you need. This is a pair for people who understand that the best fits don’t shout. And the comfort? Saucony has been making running shoes for decades, so you’re in good hands there — this isn’t a fashion experiment on a wooden sole, but a runner you can wear all day without giving it a second thought.
Timing is everything
Saucony releases are stocked by fewer shops than the big-name brands, which can make finding your size tricky. Check the current best deal via [sz_price_from stylecode=”S71034-2″] — preferably before you click through five different tabs showing the same sold-out size. Price differences between shops can be significant with niche pairs like this.
