Our take on the Saucony Men's Jazz 81

The Saucony Jazz 81 is a retro running sneaker brought back as a casual shoe, with a suede, mesh and nylon upper on a rubber outsole and a cushioned EVA midsole. It keeps the 1981 Jazz silhouette: a low-profile shape, lace-up closure and a grippy triangle-lug outsole. It is a lifestyle shoe rather than a modern performance runner. Shoppers rate it 4.8 out of 5 from 177 ratings.

Questions and answers

Is the Saucony Jazz 81 good for running?
No. It is a lifestyle sneaker with a cushioned EVA midsole and rubber outsole, not a modern running shoe. Use it for walking and casual wear.
How does the Jazz 81 fit compared with the Jazz Original?
The fit is close to the Jazz Original, with a similar low-profile shape and medium width. Some buyers find the 81 runs about a half size large, so try your usual size first.
Can I machine wash the Jazz 81?
The care label says machine wash, but the suede and mesh panels are best spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Machine washing can dull suede and weaken the glue.
What is the difference between the Jazz 81 and the Jazz Original?
Both use the same basic Jazz silhouette and cushioning. The 81 leans closer to the original 1981 design with retro colorways and materials; the Original is the long-running general-release version.
What is in the box?
One pair of Saucony Jazz 81 sneakers with the laces already fitted. No extra laces or inserts are included.
When is the Jazz 81 cheapest?
Prices tend to drop during seasonal sales and on older colorways. Check the price history on this page before buying.
