Jae Tips has big plans for his ongoing partnership with Saucony. Having already garnered plenty of attention with his inaugural Grid Azura 2000 collab that dropped in May, the New York-based creative has now teased another Saucony project that’s coming down the pipeline.
Shared on Jae Tips on social media channels yesterday was his upcoming Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 collab. This colorful rendition features plenty of special markings on the shoe, including “Savior” on the lateral side of the heel counter and his signature flower graphic on the medial portion. In the images, Jae Tips is also holding several pantone color strips that could signify this is an early sample and may not represent the final retail pair.
Back in June, Jae Tips also previewed several Saucony Grid Shadow 2 colorway but at the time of writing, the release has yet to materialize.
According to Jae Tips himself, this Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 collab is scheduled to release sometime in Fall 2024. Check back soon for official updates.
UPDATE (01/17): We’re still months away before Jae Tips’ Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 collab is scheduled to hit stores, but the designer is giving a few lucky fans the chance to own a pair early. Just moments ago, the designer shared another look at the sneaker project on Instagram and mentioned that he has gifts for the first few fans that pull up to Saucony’s House of Original store located at 138 Rue du Temple in Paris. For those who can’t make it, it’s likely pairs will soon end up on resale sites like StockX.
UPDATE (06/22): Jae Tips has confirmed that his next Saucony collab, featuring two iterations of the ProGrid Omni 9 and the Shadow 6000, will be released sometime in August. While a firm release date has yet to be revealed, the designer confirmed the pairs will be offered in men’s and kids’ sizing.
