Saucony Ride 17 ‘Halloween’ Edition Is Bringing Spooky Back

If you’re already a fan of the Saucony Ride 17 (I wouldn’t blame you if you were, they performed great in my review), you’ll be excited to know that Saucony has dropped a special edition colorway, just in time for Halloween. 🎃

This limited version of the Ride 17 takes everything we love about the daily trainer and adds a glowing twist that’s perfect for spooky season. Grab a pair before they’re gone.

Let’s talk about why the Ride 17 has become such a staple, and what makes this Halloween edition so irresistible.

Why I Love the Saucony Ride 17

The Ride 17 has earned a spot as one of the top daily trainers for a reason: it’s comfortable, durable, and designed for those easy miles we all love to rack up either for recovery runs or building base mileage. Here are some of the features that performed well:

• Plush Upper Comfort: The soft, breathable upper and generously padded collar and tongue make slipping into these shoes a treat. It’s cozy from the moment you lace up, perfect for longer, relaxed runs.
• Balanced Cushioning: The midsole strikes a great balance, offering medium cushioning that feels just right – not too soft, not too firm. The PWRRUN+ foam gives a smooth, responsive ride, ideal for easy runs and recovery days.
• Great Fit and Stability: True to size with a medium width and 8mm drop, it provides a comfortable stride without added bulk.
• Durable Outsole: The sticky rubber outsole grips well in both wet and dry conditions, and it’s holding up nicely even after many miles.

What’s New in the Halloween Ride 17?

Now, let’s dive into what makes this special edition unique, and worth a purchase. Saucony has taken the already solid Ride 17 platform and added a few spooky details to get you ready for the Halloween season.

• Glow-in-the-Dark Features: This is where the Halloween magic really kicks in. The outsole glows in the dark, and there’s a glow-in-the-dark skull graphic on the tongue. Even better, the insole has a skeleton graphic that also glows when the lights go out. Whether you’re running at night or just showing off to friends, these features make a fun statement.
• Subtle Weight Increase: This edition weighs a touch more at 10.5oz (compared to the standard 10.2oz), but honestly, it’s a small price to pay for the added fun and visual impact.
• Same Great Ride: Don’t worry, Saucony hasn’t messed with the winning formula. You still get the same reliable cushioning, fit, and durability that made the Ride 17 a favorite among runners looking for a daily trainer that’s comfortable for the long haul.

How to Get Yours Before Halloween

If you’re interested in grabbing a pair of the Saucony Ride 17 ‘Halloween’ Edition, act fast! These $140 limited-edition colorways tend to sell out quickly, especially with Halloween just around the corner. You can get them at Saucony’s website to secure your pair in time for the spooky season.

Final thoughts

For fans of the Saucony Ride series, this Halloween edition is a fun-to-have if you’re into themed gear. The glow-in-the-dark details add a fun, seasonal twist without sacrificing any of the performance or comfort you expect from the Ride 17. Plus, with the same great cushioning and fit, it’s still the perfect shoe for your daily runs.

Bear in mind, the glow doesn’t last for a long amount of time so I recommend keeping a good running headlamp on you so that you can quickly shine it at the glow in the dark elements to give them a recharge when you’re out! Oh and I wish those skulls weren’t quite so hidden behind the laces. 💀
