The long-anticipated Jae Tips x Saucony Matrix sneakers are officially scheduled to get a shock drop anytime on November 20, 2024. Reportedly, the launch will be exclusive to saviorworldwide.com. After a buzzed debut at ComplexCon 2024, held on November 16-17 in Las Vegas, these sneakers will now be available for the public starting today. The price of the shoes has not been announced yet.
The Jae Tips x Saucony Matrix collaboration brings back Saucony's Matrix silhouette. It was introduced as a trail-running shoe and was first launched in the year 2000. The loved shoes were originally designed by Brian Moore.
Jae Tips x Saucony Matrix: Delving into the Collaboration
Saucony is an American athletic footwear and apparel brand. It was founded in 1898. The company is owned by Wolverine Worldwide. Brian Moore is now Saucony's Chief of Products, who initially designed the Matrix sneakers during the 1990s.
It brought up some innovations in the 1990s athletic footwear industry. Though it garnered some attention, the sneakers disappeared from the market after 2000, which is why this comeback collaboration was highly anticipated by sneaker fans around the globe.
Jae Tips is a Bronx-based artist and designer. He has partnered with Saucony from 2022. The partnership's past projects include the ProGrid Omni 9 “To Do List”, which achieved notable love and acclamation from sneakerheads. Now Jae Tips adds his creative touch to a sneaker from the Saucony archives.
Two varied colorways have been introduced for the Jae Tips x Saucony Matrix sneakers. One is a cranberry-inspired edition. It combines shades of burgundy, brown, and violet. The Instagram post by Jae Tips featuring the shoes is captioned:
"Tomorrow ~ random time 🏠"
Below are the comments by some users :
"I got school from 8am-5pm so I need to know when to sneak out of class for a “bathroom break” 😩😭 don’t do this", commented @babiie_jae
"I need these for Thanksgiving asap", remarked @solechaserz
"Man ain’t no way 😭😭 i gotta watch my phone all damn day now", expressed @blackgoku

The upper of the sneaker is crafted with multi-layered suede. Chrome piping is featured across the upper. Saucony's retro silver quarter logo, a key element of the original Matrix, makes a comeback on the sneaker's design. Jae Tips sported his colorful flower logo on the heel. “Savior” text is featured on the lateral heel.
Below is what Complex had to mention about the shoes on its website:
"The official Jae Tips x Saucony Matrix, set to release at ComplexCon 2024 revives a 90s classic. Bronx artist Jae Tips breathes new life into Saucony’s Matrix silhouette with a cranberry-inspired colorway."
The Jae Tips x Saucony Matrix will be available for a shock drop on November 20, 2024, only on saviorworldwide.com. A broader release is, however, expected before the year’s end.
