Saucony Ride Millennium women: lightness and retro style

From running to the city

The Ride range from Saucony is aimed at neutral-footed runners, who don’t need stability correction. The Ride Millennium embodies its spirit: a versatile, comfortable shoe that’s light enough for anything.

Saucony has reissued it in its archive models program, mostly in exclusive series with a few retailers. It remains less common than other reissues, which adds to its charm.

A slimmer silhouette

While the Omni 9 features a wide platform, the Ride Millennium creates a sleeker line. It lightens the foot and slips easily under straight trousers or a skirt.

Its layered inserts and reflective details evoke the aesthetic of running shoes from about twenty years ago, which is highly sought after today.

Size and fit

Start with your usual size in Saucony: the Ride Millennium fits pretty normally. Its slimmer shape works well for narrow and regular feet.

If you have wide feet, try half a size up, and check the product sheet guide.

How to wear it?

• Straight or wide jeans: a slight turn-up to show off the shoe.
• Midi skirt or knitted dress: to break up a too conservative outfit.
• Jogging trousers: for a sporty casual look.
• Shorts in summer: with some knee-high white socks.

The colours

The silver, grey, and white colours highlight the retro running spirit of the Ride Millennium. They match most outfits and remain bright.

The more colourful versions, often from limited series, become the standout piece of a simple outfit.

A daily sneaker

Lighter than a stability shoe, the Ride Millennium can be worn all day without feeling heavy. It keeps up with city journeys, walking days, and weekends.

For regular running, a contemporary running shoe is more suitable.

Ride Millennium or Omni 9?

The Ride Millennium is the slimmer and lighter of the two, while the Omni 9 is more stable and enveloping. Choose according to your foot and the desired style.

Ride Millennium and socks

With knee-high white socks, the Ride Millennium embraces its sporty heritage. With invisible socks, it gains finesse under cropped trousers.

A coloured sock, taken from a shade of the shoe, gives a more polished effect.

Maintaining your Ride Millennium

Brush the mesh dry, then clean with lukewarm soapy water using a soft brush. The synthetic inserts can be wiped with a damp cloth, and the suede parts should be brushed dry.

Let it air dry with some paper inside, away from direct sunlight which can yellow light materials.

The Ride Millennium on the go

Light and slim, the Ride Millennium easily fits into a cabin suitcase. It accompanies sightseeing days, train journeys, and relaxed evenings, without taking up the space of a bulkier pair.

Its mesh dries quickly after a shower, as long as you let it air out.

A pair to collect

As its reissues often come in limited series, some Ride Millennium pairs become collector's items. Keep the box and original laces if you want to keep a pair in perfect condition.
