Jae Tips x Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 “To-Do-List”
Jae Tips, known as the Uptown savior, has unveiled his latest sneaker collaboration with Saucony, the ProGrid Omni 9, aptly named the “To-Do List.” This collaboration goes beyond aesthetics; it reflects Jae Tips’ experiences and daily hustle. During a recent unboxing video, he shared the inspiration behind this innovative design and its intricate details.
Inspiration Behind the Design
The “To-Do List” concept emerged from Jae Tips’ retail days, where busy schedules filled with tasks demand a reliable shoe. He emphasizes the need for a sneaker that suits active lifestyles, especially for sneakerheads who own countless pairs yet need something practical. This shoe serves as a reminder to stay focused and comfortable on busy days.
Jae Tips integrates personal symbolism into the design. He mentions the Savior Mountain logo, representing his journey and climb toward achieving his goals in media, music, and sneaker design. The shoes feature Easter eggs, including the phrases “your day just got more comfortable” and “make a to-do list today”, aligning perfectly with the shoe’s purpose. Additionally, both pairs feature his Savior “Flower Logo” as well as the Globe .
Unique Features
One standout feature of the ProGrid Omni 9 is the netting on the midfoot, a first for this line. Jae Tips has ensured that the design remains both eye-catching and functional, incorporating a honeycomb mesh that allows breathability. This design keeps your feet cool during extended wear, especially in the unique tan colorway.
The sneakers showcase a detailed combination of mesh and PVC material, enhancing both comfort and style. The Saucony River logo includes a mix of colors, demonstrating Jae Tips’ meticulous attention to detail. He emphasizes the importance of layering and dimensionality, aiming to create a shoe that feels valuable to the wearer.
A Personal Connection
Jae Tips reflects on his journey from sneaker enthusiast to designer. He expresses the significance of creating products that resonate with his community. He states, “Success means a lot to me being from the Bronx”. This collaboration reminds others of the possibilities available to those pursuing their dreams, regardless of their background.
In his own words, Jae Tips explains, “You wouldn’t wear this unless you wanted to have a good day”. His goal with the “To-Do List” sneaker encourages positivity and motivation, helping wearers tackle daily challenges with confidence.
