Westside Gunn is Dropping his Saucony Grid Jazz 9 Awesome Gods Early at Concepts in Boston

The sneaker world has a new force to reckon with thanks to Westside Gunn and Saucony. The Buffalo, NY rapper and the heritage footwear label have only released one product together, the ProGrid Triumph 4 SUPER FLYGOD, but demand was off the charts for this first drop. Subsequent teasers for new collabs on the ProGrid Omni 9 Web and the upcoming Awesome Gods Grid Jazz 9 have also generated significant buzz for Saucony, with the Jazz 9 drop selling out quickly when Westside shock-dropped the pair on his site last week.

Early Release Event at Concepts

There’s still another chance to secure the collab early, albeit only one day, with an in-store release event at Concepts. Westside Gunn took to his Instagram to announce that you can cop his upcoming Saucony Grid Jazz 9 Awesome Gods at Concepts in Boston on Thursday, August 27, 2026 beginning at 4 PM EDT. Westside himself will be in attendance, and if it's like his last appearance at Kith for the drop of the ProGrid Triumph 4, it’ll be a great time for all involved.
