"Jae Tips is back with another bold chapter in his ongoing partnership with Saucony, and this one is already turning heads from Paris to New York. The Bronx-based designer has been steadily redefining Saucony's presence in the lifestyle sneaker scene through a series of creative collaborations, and his latest effort, the ProGrid Triumph 4 "Flowers Grow Uptown" collection, continues that momentum. First teased during Paris Fashion Week, the project expands"
"The "Flowers Grow Uptown" theme feels deeply personal, tying together motifs of resilience, growth, and the cultural spirit of Uptown New York. Each pair features thoughtful detailing, from the placement of Jae Tips' flower logo along the midfoot to the bold "UPTOWN" text on the lateral heel and the subtle "SAVIOR" callout at the medial side. These details are more than just decorative - they speak to the designer's identity, his neighborhood, and the idea that creativity and beauty can flourish in unexpected places."
"The campaign follows March's "I Love You But I'm Busy" Jazz 9 release, a project that underscored Tips' ability to bring personality and emotion to a classic silhouette. This time, the creative takes Saucony's ProGrid Triumph 4 - a retro runner already beloved by sneaker enthusiasts - and transforms it into a vibrant statement piece. By infusing the silhouette with his signature storytelling flair, Jae Tips has created a collection"
Jae Tips expands his partnership with Saucony through the ProGrid Triumph 4 "Flowers Grow Uptown" collection. The project features four floral-themed colorways that blend concept, storytelling, and wearability. The design incorporates Jae Tips' flower logo on the midfoot, bold "UPTOWN" text on the lateral heel, and a subtle "SAVIOR" callout on the medial side to reference identity and neighborhood. The campaign rollout included an airport security bin teaser of the red pair and subsequent reveals of three additional colorways. The collection builds on earlier projects that applied personality and emotion to classic silhouettes while evolving Jae Tips' design language.
