Saucony is taking the Progrid V2 in a different direction with a new mule version based on the 2011 runner. The heel is gone, but the front half still carries the same low-profile shape and chunky Progrid tooling seen on the recently revived lifestyle model.

The usual leather paneling has been swapped for suede, including the large overlays running along the sides and forefoot. A stretch neoprene section replaces the standard tongue and laces, giving the shoe a simple slip-on fit. Most of the original structure remains visible, so it still reads as a Progrid V2 rather than a completely separate clog design.

“Trek/Black” pairs brown and taupe suede with black around the toe, collar, and sole. Small red V2 logos appear near the heel and tongue. “Triple Black” keeps the entire shoe dark, using slightly different black tones across the suede, neoprene, midsole, and outsole.

The Saucony Progrid V2 Mule releases August 1, 2026 in both “Triple Black” and “Trek/Black” colors for $140.
