Endorphin Shift 3

Max CushionReleased 2022-10-04EU

The Endorphin Shift 3 is a max-cushion daily trainer built for stable road mileage and walking. Compared with its predecessor, Saucony adds 2mm of PWRRUN, a PWRRUN+ sockliner and a torsional heel groove for smoother heel-to-toe transitions. SPEEDROLL supports forward momentum, while a lighter heel clip, deeper FORMFIT and breathable mesh secure the foot. XT-900 adds durable grip to its non-plated 39/35mm platform.

Saucony's manufacturer-issued Endorphin 3 launch material gives a complete Shift 3 construction list while explicitly naming carbon plates for the Pro 3 and Edge and a nylon plate for the Speed 3. No plate structure is identified for the Shift 3, and the exact official product page corroborates its construction, supporting classification as no carbon plate.
