MANILA, Philippines – The wait is over! Global running legend Saucony has officially launched in the Philippines, marking a new era for Filipino runners and fitness enthusiasts. The newly unveiled Saucony Philippines e-commerce store, powered by Shopify Plus and meticulously developed by LeapOut, makes Saucony’s 125 years of running innovation more accessible than ever.
This exciting milestone was made possible by a powerhouse collaboration between LeapOut’s exceptional tech team and GomaSportika Inc., the exclusive distributor of Saucony in the Philippines.
A Proud Partnership Driving the Future of Running in the Philippines
“This launch is a testament to the incredible talent, dedication, and vision of our team at LeapOut,” said Marvin Ortiz, Managing Partner at LeapOut. “From building a seamless online platform to localizing it for Filipino runners, our tech team went above and beyond to bring Saucony to life in the Philippines. We’re also incredibly proud to have partnered with GomaSportika Inc., whose passion for the running community perfectly complements Saucony’s mission to inspire and empower athletes.”
Ortiz added, “This brand.com for Saucony is just the beginning. It’s the first of many activities that GomaSportika Inc. will roll out to serve the Filipino running community, and we’re honored to be part of this journey.”
A Legacy of Running Innovation, Now Closer to Home
For over a century, Saucony has set the gold standard in running footwear and apparel, helping runners of all levels—from elite athletes to casual joggers—achieve their goals. Filipino consumers can now explore Saucony’s cutting-edge products with ease, thanks to this official online store that guarantees authenticity and convenience.
By partnering with GomaSportika Inc., the store brings genuine Saucony products closer to the local market, eliminating the challenges of international shipping while offering localized payment options like COD and e-wallets for a frictionless shopping experience.
The LeapOut x Shopify Plus Advantage
LeapOut selected Shopify Plus to power Saucony’s Philippine e-commerce site for its ability to handle high-traffic events and promotions without compromising on speed or performance. With this robust platform, the store is designed to support seamless inventory management, efficient order processing, and marketing campaigns that drive growth.
“We wanted to create a site that feels globally aligned with Saucony’s iconic branding while ensuring it’s tailored to the unique needs of Filipino runners,” Ortiz explained. “From localized shipping to intuitive navigation, we’ve made the entire experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.”
Building a Community of Runners
The Saucony Philippines e-commerce site is more than just an online store—it’s the foundation of a thriving local running community. Shoppers can look forward to exclusive content like training tips, updates on the latest sportswear technology, and insights into Saucony’s enduring commitment to runners.
This launch is just the start of GomaSportika Inc.’s mission to elevate the running experience in the Philippines. With more initiatives on the horizon, the Filipino running community has much to be excited about.
