Westside Gunn’s next Saucony collaboration is officially on the way, and this time he’s moving away from the ProGrid Triumph 4. The Buffalo rapper and Griselda founder has previewed a new Saucony Grid Jazz 9 titled the Westside Gunn x Saucony Grid Jazz 9 “Awesome Gods.”
The pair first surfaced during Paris Fashion Week, giving fans an early look before Saucony shared any official details. Now, while currently overseas for his “Heel the World” tour, Westside Gunn has offered another preview of the sneaker. He also jumped into the comments to confirm that the pair is releasing, with more information expected once the tour wraps.
Unlike his more aggressive GRID Triumph collaboration, this Grid Jazz 9 has a more traditional runner shape. That gives the design room to focus on its details. The shoe features a rich wine-colored base with matching tones covering much of the upper, midsole, and outsole. The look feels cleaner than some of Gunn’s past previews, but it still carries his usual art-heavy approach.
Faux reptile-style overlays add texture across the upper, while Saucony’s standard side logo is swapped out for large scorpion patches. That detail gives the pair a direct link to Westside Gunn’s Griselda universe without overcomplicating the design. Bright pink, blue, and earth-toned hits also appear across the upper, adding contrast to the darker base.
From the early images, the Westside Gunn x Saucony Grid Jazz 9 “Awesome Gods” looks like one of Gunn’s most wearable Saucony projects yet. It still has personality, but the shape, color blocking, and premium-style textures make it feel more dialed in.
Saucony has not announced pricing, release details, or an official date yet. However, Westside Gunn has confirmed the shoe is releasing, with more info expected after his “Heel the World” tour concludes.
