Product Information

Full details

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 Kissaten is designed for runners seeking a lightweight and responsive shoe for fast-paced training and racing. Its key benefit is the combination of a redesigned nylon plate and PWRRUN PB cushioning for a propulsive feel. A potential caveat is that its specialized design might be less ideal for very long, slow recovery runs. This edition celebrates Japanese coffee and teahouse culture with unique color blocking and textural details, appealing to both performance-driven athletes and collectors.

FAQs

What is the main difference between the Endorphin Speed 5 and previous models?

The Endorphin Speed 5 features a redesigned nylon plate for enhanced responsiveness and improved PWRRUN PB cushioning for better energy return.

Is the Kissaten edition functionally different from the standard Endorphin Speed 5?

No, the Kissaten edition offers the same performance features as the standard Endorphin Speed 5. The difference is purely in the aesthetic design and colorway.

Can I wear the Endorphin Speed 5 Kissaten for everyday jogging?

Yes, while optimized for speed, the shoe's cushioning and lightweight design make it suitable for everyday jogging, though it truly shines during faster efforts.

How durable is the PWRRUN PB cushioning?

PWRRUN PB is designed for high energy return and durability for its class. However, like all foams, it will eventually compress with significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).

What kind of socks are best to wear with these shoes?

Performance running socks, made from moisture-wicking synthetic materials or merino wool blends, are recommended to enhance comfort and prevent blisters.

Is the nylon plate flexible?

The nylon plate is designed to be responsive and propulsive, offering a stiffer feel than a traditional midsole but more flexibility than a carbon fiber plate.

How do I clean the unique upper materials?

Use a soft brush and cold water with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or excessive scrubbing, especially on textured areas.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing techniques to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning feel

Ensure the shoe is clean and dry. Over time, cushioning naturally compresses. For very high mileage, consider replacing the shoes.

Uneven wear on the outsole

Check your running gait and form. Uneven wear can sometimes indicate biomechanical issues. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces.

Material discoloration or damage

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently as per care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Endorphin Speed 5 Kissaten requires no specific setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: This shoe is designed for road running and track use. It is compatible with most running socks. While not designed for intense trail running, it can handle light gravel paths.

Care: To maintain the shoe's performance and appearance:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  2. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or damp conditions.
  4. Plate Care: While the nylon plate is durable, avoid aggressive bending or twisting of the shoe, which could potentially stress the plate over time.
