Saucony x Jae Tips Grid Jazz 9 "I love you but I'm busy"

Saucony and Jae Tips are back for another round! This time, the visionary creative put his spin on an archival retro. The Grid Jazz 9 "I Love You But I'm Busy" combines classic running DNA with Jae Tips' unmistakable style and features a vibrant clash of colors and expressive details.⁠ The shoe is loud, layered and unapologetically extra – just like the mind behind it. A continuation of Jae Tips’ vibrant universe, this latest collab with Saucony dives deeper into personal storytelling, executed through a palette that’s part childhood memory, part fever dream.

Saucony, established in 1898 built its rep in the running world long before sneakers were considered “fashion”. But with its retro silhouettes, underground cult following, and a willingness to collaborate with creatives who actually have something to say, Saucony has become a mainstay in today’s streetwear conversation.

Enter Jae Tips – Bronx native, multidisciplinary artist, rapper, and walking colour wheel. If you've been paying attention, you already know his first Saucony drops flew off shelves. This time, he’s turning the Grid Jazz 9 into something between a gallery piece and a love letter – messy, emotional, and intentionally over the top.

“I Love You But I’m Busy” isn’t just a tagline. It’s a mood.
The shoe reads like a visual diary – pastel pinks clashing with blue, yellow and orange -  combined with details from the line "I love you but I'm busy" on the heel and the tongue. Underneath all the flair is the classic GRID cushioning system, originally designed for high-performance runners. Meaning that the shoe provides solid heel support, comfy step-in feel, and the kind of everyday wearability that makes it more than just a shelf piece.

Whether you wear them or frame them, the message is clear:
“I love you... but I’m busy.”

Priorities, right?
