Sneaker Politics' Sportsman’s Paradise Saucony Collab Drops Next Week

Sneaker Politics does it right. The sneaker industry’s premier boutique across Louisiana, the retailer has been a source for sneaker collabs across the industry, and every time, the shop shows love to the local community that built it, adding Louisiana motifs at every turn. After showing love to the state’s seafood and trees in 2025, Sneaker Politics’ Saucony collab is about the Bayou state’s world-class reputation as a hunting and fishing destination.

The Sneaker Politics x Saucony Sportsman’s Paradise has only been seen in a quick one-picture preview from the shop’s Instagram page, so we’re not even certain of which silhouette the collab is taking on, but the theme is no secret, taking on the nickname for North Louisiana’s endless nature.

The preview of the shoe shows a green hairy suede tongue, cream colored laces, brown hairy suede on the side panels, a bit of bright green on the medial side, and teal mesh on the bottom of the tongue and the sockliner. After teaming up with Asics for a Gel-K1011 colorway inspired by Louisiana’s Live Oaks, this collab looks to continue the southern nature theme, with a pink and maroon Politics logo on the tongue marking the cross-branded collab.

The Sneaker Politics x Saucony Sportsman’s Paradise collab will be released January 17, 2026 through Sneaker Politics in-store and online. As of now, the sizing and price are still TBD, so keep your eyes peeled to the Sole Retriever mobile app for all the latest updates.
