The Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 Jae Tips "To Do List" in Tan, Pink, and Blue, is a collaborative creation between Saucony and the Bronx-based artist and designer Jae Tips. This project reimagines a performance running shoe from the 2010s, transforming it into a lifestyle sneaker, infused with Jae Tips' distinct design language. The shoe's conception was driven by the desire to provide a comfortable option for everyday wear.
Originally conceived for performance running, the ProGrid Omni 9, in its Jae Tips iteration, serves as a versatile lifestyle sneaker, perfect for daily errands and urban exploration. It provides a comfortable, stable, and supportive experience, with a focus on a firmer feel. The inclusion of custom-branded foam-lined insoles and unique packaging further elevates the product's value, making it ideal for the fashion-conscious consumer.
The impact of the Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 Jae Tips "To Do List" is immediately apparent through the actions of its creator, Jae Tips. At Paris Fashion Week, Jae Tips was observed showcasing the shoe, highlighting its integration into high fashion circles. Further demonstrating the shoe's influence, Jae Tips, during a Product Unboxing (B/R Kicks Unboxed), provided further insight into the design. The collaboration has undoubtedly solidified the ProGrid Omni 9's place within the vibrant intersection of sneaker culture, hip-hop, and street style.
The upper is meticulously crafted with a honeycomb mesh, complemented by a grid-like screen, translucent TPU layers, synthetic overlays, and genuine leather around the eyelets. The mid-panel showcases a large, semi-translucent mesh overlay with diamond-shaped threading, enhancing both aesthetics and breathability. A full-length EVA foam midsole, coupled with SRC technology, ProGrid tech, and a secondary foam layer, ensures superior cushioning and shock absorption.
