In 2025, Sneaker Politics–already regarded as one of the best independent sneaker boutiques in the footwear retail scene–took some major jumps forward. With impressive collabs with ASICS and adidas under the belt alongside the expansion of the in-person retail imprint. They’re not slowing down at all in 2026, keeping the moment high with an official announcement of their next collaboration dubbed the “Sportsman’s Paradise”.

All that’s revealed is a this close-up shot of the tongue, but this teaser is a proper peek into the design as a whole. We see a variety of suede finishes on the Saucony Progrid Omni 9 silhouette, including a hairy textured suede on the tongue joined by a smoother finish on the lace collar overlay. A classic jersey mesh in light green lines the interior, while a bright aqua-like sport mesh is seen on the tongue and stretches onto the underlay of the upper.
