Tempus 2

Details

Blending high-stack superfoam with intelligent guidance, the Saucony Tempus 2 delivers a uniquely stable yet fast ride for runners who want support without sacrificing snap. Using the same PWRRUN PB foam found in Saucony’s elite racing lineup, the Tempus 2 maintains a lively, high-rebound feel, while an asymmetrical PWRRUN guidance frameprovides subtle medial support and smooth directional control at quicker paces. The result is a rare fusion of propulsion and stability that keeps transitions fluid from warmup to final surge.


A revamped engineered mesh upper enhances breathability and midfoot security with a more seamless wrap, complementing the Tempus’ performance-focused fit. Beneath it all, a premium XT-900 carbon rubber outsole ensures confident traction and longevity for training blocks, long runs, and speed-driven stability mileage. Lightweight, structured, and exceptionally responsive, the Tempus 2 stands as a go-to option for runners who need guided support in a shoe that still feels unmistakably fast.



MIDSOLE

  • PWRRUN PB is an ultralight PEBA-based foam that provides exceptional responsiveness.
  • Contoured PWRRUN Frame supports the foot upon landing, stabilizes the PEBA foam, and gives a snappy toe-off.


OUTSOLE

  • XT-900 Carbon Rubber is placed strategically to increase traction and durability while keeping weight to a minimum.


UPPER

  • Engineered Mesh provides a secure and comfortable fit.
