"With his signature, eye-catching colorways, the "Flowers Grow Uptown" comes in three colorways: Virginia Creeper, Perilla, and Sugar Maple, and draws inspiration from the floral backdrop that thrives in his home borough, translating the beauty of the urban landscape into a retro runner silhouette. Along with his signature "UPTOWN" and "SAVIOR" branding, Jae Tips' talent and storytelling, and attention to detail have curated a must-have for sneaker heads everywhere."
"The Flowers Grow Uptown collection made its debut in London last month at Saucony's London flagship store in Covent Garden, marking Jae Tips' first-ever appearance in the United Kingdom. The release continued with an exclusive drop in New York City, before rolling out globally on October 10. Adding to the excitement, the Poison Ivy colorway will launch exclusively at ComplexCon Las Vegas 2025. Each pair will be priced at $180 in adult sizes."
"I just love it. I feel like art imitates life. Through my collaboration with Saucony, I feel like they've been an amplifier of my voice. And sometimes I go on really big ideas, and they just tell me how it can happen, which is, to me, a partnership made in heaven."
