The Legend

New Zealander Rod Dixon is one of the most prolific runners of all time. Praised for his amazing range, he was the first runner in history to clock both a sub-3:53 mile and a sub-2:09 marathon. Dixon won the 1983 New York Marathon in epic fashion as a member of the Saucony Racing team, and capped it off by signing a deal to design a running shoe in his name – the Dixon Trainer.

Over three decades later, his legend lives on. His home country, one dominated by wilderness and sheep, served as inspiration for the Saucony Design team when choosing prints and materials for the lodge-themed update of this classic silhouette.
