If you’ve been following the world of fitted baseball caps over the last several years, you’re probably familiar with Jae Tips, the Bronx-native that has breathed new life into the decades-old space. At the tail-end of 2022, the multi-hyphenate creative launched his first sneaker collaboration with Saucony, and he’s recently teased the follow-up pair(s) for Fall 2023.
Partly unveiled via Instagram, Jae Tips’ next canvas will be the Grid Shadow 2 silhouette from 1996. While not as well-known as other Saucony Originals designs, the 27-year-old model launched as a performance-running proposition, making its build equal parts performance-driven and style-oriented. Like much of his mainstream work of the past two years, Jae Tips’ next sneaker project will feature a medley of disparate colors and patterns, with personal branding — including “Tips” and “Savior” — hits appearing throughout the shoe. Three different insoles were shared via social media, suggesting the New York City-based designer is working out different options for his sophomoric release following November 2022’s Grid Azura 2000.
Enjoy a closer look at the teaser images ahead, and anticipate a saucony.com launch date come autumn.
