Jae Tips and Saucony continue to redefine sneaker collaborations with bold storytelling. The Bronx-born designer recently unveiled the Saucony Jazz 9 “I Love You But I’m Busy” during Paris Fashion Week. Known for his fresh designs, Jae Tips builds on past successes with the ProGrid Omni 9 and Grid Shadow 2, cementing his influence in sneaker culture.
The Jazz 9 features a vibrant multi-material build that captures attention. Deep blue suede overlays pair beautifully with bright yellow mesh underlays, creating a striking contrast. A key detail is the unique text on the heels: “I love you” on one and “But I’m busy” on the other. This thoughtful addition reflects the balance between personal connections and the fast-paced modern lifestyle. Adding to the design are a floral hang tag, a pink foam midsole, and a black rubber outsole, enhancing both style and functionality.
Jae Tips ensures every detail serves a purpose, making the Jazz 9 more than just a sneaker—it’s a statement piece. The mix of bold colors and personal storytelling creates a shoe that speaks to individuality. Sneaker enthusiasts will appreciate the intricate craftsmanship and deeper meaning behind the design.
