Product Information
Full details
The Saucony ProGrid Paramount trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of authentic Y2K aesthetics and modern comfort. Originally released in 2007, these trainers offer a distinctive retro look with updated design elements. Their key benefit lies in merging vintage running DNA with contemporary styling, making them suitable for both athletic-inspired wear and casual outings. A potential caveat is that their Y2K design may not align with all modern fashion preferences.

FAQs
What does 'ProGrid' refer to in the name?
ProGrid refers to Saucony's cushioning technology, designed to provide a responsive and stable ride. While this model is a retro reissue, it maintains the spirit of the original technology.
Are these shoes suitable for actual running?
While inspired by running DNA, the ProGrid Paramount are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers with a retro aesthetic. For serious running, dedicated performance running shoes from Saucony would be recommended.
What does 'Y2K design' mean?
Y2K design refers to the fashion and aesthetic trends prevalent around the year 2000. For these trainers, it means a style that was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s, characterized by its specific silhouettes and material choices.
How does the internal fabric cage work?
The internal fabric cage is integrated within the shoe's upper to provide a snug, supportive fit around the midfoot, enhancing stability and comfort without adding excessive bulk.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the shoe's material integrity and appearance.
What is the main difference between this reissue and the original 2007 model?
The main difference is the updated design approach, specifically the removal of the traditional side river logo to highlight the mesh and fabric cage, creating a cleaner side profile while retaining the original runner DNA.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them more loosely.
Mesh material appears dirty
Gently spot clean the mesh with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue.
Color transfer onto socks
This can sometimes occur with darker colored footwear. It is often reduced after the first few wears or washes (if applicable to the sock). Ensure socks are properly dyed.
