Original Story (01/22/25): Jae Tips is back with another Saucony collab. Following up last year’s “No Shoes In The House” pack, the NYC-based artist and designer continues his tradition of unveiling sneaker projects during Paris Fashion Week, this time sharing a first look at his Saucony Grid Jazz 9.
The Jae Tips x Saucony Grid Jazz 9 comes dressed in a vibrant color palette that combines orange and yellow mesh paneling with blue overlays and a pink midsole. Embroidered across the heels is the message “I Love You But Im Busy,” while the tongues feature Savior Sport branding.
The mix of colors on the Grid 9 is reminiscent of Jae Tips’ work as a hat designer, an intentional choice made by the Bronx native.
“If you followed me as a hat designer you’ll always be able to predict my next colorways,” says Jae Tips. “I been telling a full circle story for a long time.. Consistency is important and you won’t be overlooked forever.”
The Jae Tips x Saucony Grid Jazz 9 is set to drop in early Spring 2025 via Jae Tips’ website, Saucony.com, and select retailers. Grab a first look below and stay tuned to Modern Notoriety for updates.
Update (03/21/25): Jae Tips shares the campaign for his “I Love You But I’m Busy” Saucony collab. In addition to the Grid Jazz 9 in adult sizing, the collab also includes kids sizes of the Shadow 6000. These drop March 28th at 1pm ET on saviorworldwide.com. A wider release will take place on April 11th at select retailers and the Saucony website.
