Turn the AFEW x Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 “Tara Hawk” in the light and the heel changes from purple to teal to gold. The Düsseldorf shop based its third Saucony collab on the tarantula hawk, a wasp that hunts tarantulas. Its orange wings account for the bright rubber underfoot.

A dark graphite base shows through honeycomb mesh that fades from pink through orange to yellow. The two sides of the shoe look different, too. A translucent cage wraps the inner side, while a thin teal outline traces the Saucony logo on the outside. There’s a clear window at the heel, just below the fuzzy collar, and a raised iridescent bubble on the tongue carries the AFEW name.

The teal from the logo shows up again in a swirl on the sockliner and on one of the three spare lace sets. The other two are magenta, one solid and one flecked with silver. All three come in an iridescent shoebox.

The AFEW x Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 “Tara Hawk” releases November 7, 2026, through AFEW. Select retailers and Saucony.com get the pair November 13, with Saucony’s online launch set for 11 a.m. ET.
