They’ve been cooking up their first release pretty quietly, and have finally unveiled the debut project this week.

Appearing in Paris over the weekend for Fashion Week festivities, the Griselda Records founder and Saucony finally unveiled their first collaborative release, featuring the Grid Jazz 9 runner. Originally released in the ’90s and reissued for 2024, the Jazz 9 is a sleek performance shoe that still holds up today, thanks tot he GRID cushioning tech packed into the midsoles. Gunn’s first edition of the model, dubbed “Scorpion”, coming in a tonal red palette, and features snakeskin, croc leather, and faux fur paneling, adding a large scorpion patch to one wall of the shoe. Additionally, they will come with a hangtag mimicking a real scorpion frozen in amber.
