Saucony Trainer 80 Shoes. From the Archives to the Streets: The Trainer 80. Born in 1978, the Trainer 80 didn’t just step onto the scene—it sprinted ahead, integrating high-density EVA foam to revolutionize the running world. By ditching the outdated cardboard layer between the sole and upper, it delivered a softer, more responsive feel that made every mile smoother and every stride legendary. Now, this classic returns with its retro charm intact and a modern edge. Faithfully reimagined for today, the Trainer 80 balances Saucony’s heritage of innovation with street-ready style, now available in a series of vibrant colorways for every day. Mesh and suede uppers for breathability and elevated style. Full length EVA midsole delivers all-day comfort. Trended outsole for reliable grip. Imported.
