Saucony Virrata Preview: New Zero-Drop, Cushioned Running Shoe Coming Next Year

The Running Warehouse blog just released some photos and details regarding a new zero-drop shoe coming in February 2013 from Saucony. The Saucony Virrata joins the Saucony Hattori as the second zero-drop shoe in the Saucony stable, and this one looks more like a traditional training shoe. In fact, it looks quite a lot like a zero drop version of the Saucony Kinvara, which makes me quite happy since the Kinvara is a personal favorite.

Here are the key details reported by Running Warehouse about the Virrata:

zero drop, cushioned sole (18mm heel, 18mm forefoot)
lightweight: 6.5 oz in men’s size 9
very flexible due to horizontal flex grooves in the sole
bootie-style construction of the upper
Launch Date: February 2013
MSRP: $90
