Trinidad Jame$ and Saucony have officially announced the collaborative Hommewrk Jazz 81 that celebrates Saucony’s heritage as well as Jame$’ roots.
The upcoming collection taps into the Jame$’ Trinidadian heritage with a vibrant color combination. In addition, the collab takes inspiration from the first sneaker he owned as an immigrant moving to America. The match is both authentic and natural for the industry mogul and the renowned sneaker brand.
The Saucony Hommewrk Jazz 81 “Sorrel Red” pays homage to his favorite drink, sorrel, made of dried hibiscus flower petals — a staple in Trinidad’s West Indian heritage. The classic Trinidadian recipe has deep red hues recreated on the sneaker’s premium leather and suede-infused upper. The Jazz 81 also showcases a semi-translucent pink TPU toe box and heel details, accentuating Saucony’s river logos.
“I always say ‘you gotta bet on yourself,’ and Saucony approached this project with a kindred conviction that together we could fuse our individual legacies to create a vibrant and very distinct Saucony x Hommewrk Jazz 81. Running in the right direction, the Jazz 81 is the perfect canvas for my journey, my narrative, allowing me to further share my vision and cultural roots with the world. In partnership with Saucony, we hope to continue to build a more inclusive community while inspiring new generations to express themselves through authenticity, style and culture.” said Trinidad Jame$
The Trinidad Jame$ x Saucony Hommewrk Jazz 81 “Sorrel Red” released on November 6-7 at ComplexCon but will see a wider release on November 24 at HOMMEWRK.com and November 27 on Saucony.com and select retailers. As always, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will have members ready for drop day.
