Jovani Hernandez Jae Tips and Saucony are having fun.
The Bronx-native has only officially put out one sneaker collaboration with the Massachusetts-based brand, but he’s teased three more over the last year. As newcomers and longtime loyalists to Saucony await the creative’s next Grid Shadow 2 offerings, they’re already being treated to part of the duo’s plans for Fall 2024.
Jae Tips recently took to Instagram to share an in-hand look at a Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 he’s workin on. First launched in 2010, the performance-running model has recently enjoyed a reissue, donning silver mesh and single-colored accents. The retro stability silhouette abandons its traditional color-blocking in favor of the Jae Tips-treatment: vibrant, seemingly disparate tones that come together masterfully. Shades of pink and purple cover most real estate across the upper, but profile logos and sole units replete with technology from the 2010s introduce varying shades of blue. References to Jae Tips and his Savior brand appear prominently on both sides of the shoe’s heel, cementing the multi-hyphenate in the annals of Saucony collaborators.
Enjoy a first-look at the ProGrid Omni 9 by Jae Tips ahead, and stay tuned for updates.
