Politics is kicking off its 20th Anniversary in style.
Today, the boutique has announced its first sneaker project of 2026- a collaboration with Saucony on the ProGrid Omni 9.
The two brands, of course, are no strangers- having linked up a few times in the past to create sneakers that celebrated Louisiana history. This time, instead of honoring one of the most iconic cafes in the country, they are celebrating Louisiana’s deep-rooted sports heritage.
The collaboration is officially being dubbed the ‘Sportsman Paradise’. The nickname derives from Louisiana’s reputation for fostering an ecosystem ripe for fishing, hunting, and exploring the outdoors. For Politics, this collaboration “serves as a love letter to Southern Louisiana, celebrating the region’s diverse wildlife and outdoor culture.”
The ProGrid Omni 9, practically, is Politic’s canvas of choice. Though that should not come as a surprise. The model has become among Saucony’s most popular footwear options. The incomparable Steven Smith even told us that it was his sneaker of the year for 2025.
As Politics looks to kick off a special 20th anniversary, a feat that should be widely celebrated in the sneaker community, there could not be a better way to get the party started than with the Omni 9.
The Politics x Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 ‘ Sportman Paradise’ releases January 17th at 10 AM EST via Politics.
