I love the style aspect of the new re-design of Sauconys- they have never offered such fun colors before. I wore Triumph 9 for YEARS and was so disappointed to find that they were discontinued. I was relieved when, after a little research, I discovered these. They are pretty comparable (maximum cushioning, 8mm drop), however they do fit more snugly than my Triumph 9's did. After a few runs where they felt like they pinched my feet, I just tied them looser than I normally would.
