Trinidad Jame$’ Saucony Hommewrk Jazz 81 “Sorrel Red” Drops Soon

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 Trinidadâ€s West Indian heritage. The classic Trinidadian recipe has deep red hues recreated on the sneakerâ€s premium leather and suede-infused upper. The Jazz 81 also showcases a semi-translucent pink TPU toe box and heel details, accentuating Sauconyâ€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$
