Echelon 9

Max CushionRelease date 2023US

Echelon 9 is a roomy, neutral road shoe for daily running and walking. Compared with its predecessor, thicker, softer PWRRUN cushioning lowers weight, while added heel beveling helps smooth transitions. A removable sockliner accommodates replacement insoles or orthotics. Its generous fit suits runners who need more space throughout the shoe and prioritize comfort for everyday miles.

Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Men's 292g from the manufacturer-provided SP23 Saucony footwear catalog, corroborated by the exact Japanese authorized-retailer product page.
Plate note
The complete exact-model construction evidence in Saucony's manufacturer-provided catalog identifies PWRRUN, a PWRRUN+ sockliner, geometry, upper, and outsole construction without a carbon structure. Exact official Australia and authorized Japan product pages corroborate the ordinary PWRRUN construction, so carbon_plate remains false; this does not assert that every non-carbon support element is absent.
