Saucony Paramount MAX Men's Daily Running Shoes
The Saucony Paramount MAX Men's Daily Running Shoes in White / Multi are maximum cushioning running shoes designed to bring Saucony's high energy return incrediRUN™ foam to everyday kilometres. A broad, high stack platform combines incrediRUN™ midsole cushioning with an incrediRUN™ sockliner, while a segmented midsole and 6 mm offset create a highly cushioned setup designed around smooth landings and efficient transitions.
The Paramount MAX uses a broad platform of incrediRUN™ foam tuned specifically for everyday miles. This is Saucony's high performance cushioning material, designed to combine substantial underfoot protection with high energy return rather than creating a soft platform that simply absorbs impact. For daily running, that combination is particularly relevant when you want plenty of cushioning beneath your feet while retaining an energetic feel through each stride.
incrediRUN™ Sockliner Adds Another Layer of Cushioning
Saucony pairs the midsole with a high rebound incrediRUN™ sockliner. Having responsive cushioning both beneath and directly under the foot adds to the Paramount MAX's maximum cushioning approach and contributes to its high response feel during everyday running.
Broad Platform and Higher Sidewalls
The Paramount MAX uses higher sidewalls and a broader platform around its substantial cushioning stack. This gives Saucony a wider foundation for the incrediRUN™ foam and helps integrate the foot with the high stack platform rather than simply placing it on top of a large amount of cushioning.
Segmented Midsole for Smoother Transitions
A segmented midsole is designed to promote smoother landings and efficient transitions through the stride. This is an important part of the Paramount MAX setup, helping the substantial cushioning platform work progressively as you move from landing through to toe-off.
Breathable Engineered Mesh Upper
The upper uses breathable engineered mesh combined with an anatomically moulded heel. Saucony has designed the heel around irritation-free comfort and fit, complementing the substantial cushioning underneath with a comfort focused construction around the foot.
