Tempus 2
Powered by PWRRUN PB superfoam and a smooth PWRRUN guidance frame, the Tempus 2 offers dynamic stability with race-inspired rebound. Cushioned, propulsive, and cleanly supported, it’s built for runners who want guided efficiency at running pace—not recovery pace.
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.
