Lexington-based Saucony Unveils #BostonStrong Shoelace Medallions

Everywhere you look, it’s there: Scrawled on a building, added as a hashtag, tattooed on a Malden man, represented by a yellow-and-blue ribbon, embodied by people helping people.

As the region recovers from the tragic events of last week, Boston Strong has become ubiquitous. And now, fittingly enough, the motto that emerged after the Boston Marathon bombing is making its way onto running shoes.

Lexington-based Saucony this week introduced a “#BostonStrong Lace Medallion” as a fundraiser for to benefit marathon bombing victims and their families. The shoe company will sell the medallions for $5 per pair and donate 100 percent of the sales to The One Fund Boston.
