Saucony x Westside Gunn: Explosive New Collab Drops ProGrid Triumph 4
Rapper’s Griselda Flair Transforms Running Icon with Neon, Scorpion Logos in Sold-Out Art Basel Launch
Saucony announces a dynamic new collaboration with rapper Westside Gunn, blending performance running heritage with street culture flair. The debut drop reimagines the ProGrid Triumph 4, launching exclusively through select retailers and marking the start of an ongoing partnership.
Collaboration Debut Details
Saucony partners with Grammy-nominated Griselda Records founder Westside Gunn for his first footwear project, transforming the ProGrid Triumph 4 with neon mesh uppers, snakeskin-debossed tongues, scorpion logo liners, and “SUPER FLYGOD” branding. Each pair arrives in a custom drawer-style box with Griselda x Saucony tags, launching December 4, 2025, via Saucony.com and Kith amid Art Basel Miami hype. The release sold out rapidly, underscoring Gunn’s cultural pull and Saucony’s momentum as Footwear News’ Company of the Year.
Gunn’s Vision Meets Saucony’s Legacy
Westside Gunn infuses his unapologetic aesthetic—rooted in Buffalo’s underground scene—into Saucony’s running icons, following teases from Paris Fashion Week like the red “Scorpion” Grid Jazz 9. Jason Faustino, Saucony’s Senior Director of Global Energy, praises Gunn’s ability to “create moments that move culture,” bridging performance innovation with bold self-expression. Future drops, including ProGrid Omni 9 variants, promise more fusion of rap artistry and athletic design.
Industry Impact and Availability
This ties into Saucony’s award-winning streak under Wolverine Worldwide, positioning the brand against Nike and Adidas in lifestyle sneakers. Resale platforms like StockX list sold-out pairs at premiums, while fans anticipate 2026 releases like the pink-silver Omni 9 Web. The collab elevates both: Gunn expands from music and fashion into sneakers, while Saucony taps hip-hop’s global influence for younger demographics.
