located near the banks of Saucony Creek in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, was built in 1898, giving it well over a century of shoemaking experience. While the company used to print the words "sock a knee" on its shoeboxes so that customers would know how to pronounce the brand name correctly, Saucony is now known the world over for its top-tier running shoes. The Jazz 81 marries that athletic history with style and performance, offering Saucony's most iconic silhouette with a distressed upper, a shock-absorbing EVA midsole and a durable rubber outsole for extra traction.
