The ProGrid Omni 9, a retro runner from the 2010s, has been resurrected as a lifestyle sneaker, bearing the mark of Jae Tips' creative vision. This collaboration is a testament to the enduring appeal of the original design, now reimagined for contemporary tastes. Its heritage is firmly rooted in the intersection of performance and style, a lineage it continues to honor.
Originally conceived for performance running, this iteration of the ProGrid Omni 9 has been artfully transformed into a lifestyle sneaker, ideal for everyday use. Its design prioritizes comfort and style, aligning seamlessly with the 'To Do List' theme that drives its aesthetic. The inclusion of a full-length EVA foam midsole, ProGrid technology, and SRC further enhances its usability.
Jae Tips' influence within the sneaker community is undeniable, as evidenced by this, his third collaboration with Saucony. His unique approach to color palettes and narrative-driven designs has garnered significant acclaim, including the FNAA Collaboration Of The Year award. The vibrant color blocking and custom branding, as seen during Men's Paris Fashion Week in June 2024, are immediately recognizable. Furthermore, the collaboration features the distinctive 'Savior' branding, a hallmark of Jae Tips' creative identity.
The upper is meticulously crafted with a honeycomb mesh base and textile and synthetic overlays, providing a lightweight and airy feel. A TPU cage adds essential structure and support, ensuring both durability and a secure fit. The design is punctuated by Jae Tips' signature vibrant color blocking and branding elements.
