Westside Gunn and Saucony are teaming up again, and this time the Griselda founder is moving to a new model. The Buffalo rapper showed off the Westside Gunn x Saucony Grid Jazz 9 “Awesome Gods” during Paris Fashion Week, marking his next collaboration with the sportswear brand.
This collaboration shifts focus from Westside Gunn’s previous work with Saucony on the ProGrid Triumph 4, which established the artist as a key voice in the brand’s collaborator roster. The Grid Jazz 9 carries its own legacy as a retro running silhouette with roots in the 1990s running boom. Saucony’s Grid technology defined an era of performance footwear, and the Jazz model became one of the brand’s most recognizable profiles during that period.
The Grid Jazz 9 has seen numerous revisions and colorway releases over the years, with both vintage pairs and modern reissues drawing attention from collectors and casual wearers alike. Westside Gunn’s “Awesome Gods” iteration promises to bring his distinctive aesthetic to the classic runner, continuing his track record of blending underground hip-hop culture with established sportswear heritage.
Westside Gunn has built a reputation for meaningful sneaker partnerships that reflect both artistic vision and sneaker community values. His previous Saucony work demonstrated how collaborations between established running brands and cultural figures can reach audiences across both performance and lifestyle spaces. The Grid Jazz 9 platform offers another opportunity to explore that intersection.
Details on release date, pricing, and availability have not yet been announced. Fans should watch Saucony’s official channels and major sneaker retailers for more information as the release approaches.
