The Jae Tips x Saucony ProGrid Triumph 4 Flowers Grow Uptown collection, drawing inspiration from the vibrant flora of New York City, officially begins its rollout with exclusive pop-up events in London on September 26 and New York City on September 27. The collection introduces three colorways — “Perilla,” “Sugar Maple,” and “Virginia Creeper” — each retailing for $180, while the highly anticipated “Poison Ivy” may remain a friends-and-family exclusive. The New York City activation will go beyond footwear, offering attendees a free photo booth that prints baseball card–style portraits and featuring florist Rae of Florals (@raeofflorals), who will transform the venue into a greenhouse filled with community-donated plants. Following the event, all plants will be donated to Bronx schools and community gardens, including MS224, reinforcing Jae Tips’ commitment to giving back to his hometown. Guests can bring “a plant of any size” in exchange for the opportunity to purchase a pair from the collection. A wider launch of the Flowers Grow Uptown collection is expected soon, with official product imagery now updated.
