Few pop artists have a style as recognizable as Keith Haring. The cartoon characters and the distinct font make Haring’s art instantly recognizable on gallery walls, streetside murals, or the countless licensed products tying him to every corner of pop culture. Haring passed away in 1990, but his art lives on around the world, and the latest Haring collab comes from Saucony, with a ProGrid Triumph 4 dedicated to New York City.
The Keith Haring x Saucony ProGrid Triumph 4 got the blessing from Haring’s estate and puts his art to perfect use, adding subtle hits of Haring influence on the tongue and heel, but leaving the rest of the shoe to speak for itself, creating a wearable mix of cultural reference, celebration of the city, and classic runner. The colorway starts with a black mesh upper and black support panels with white graphic details layered over top. The Saucony side panel logo gets the same white over black treatment, while the midsole adds color with a full-length strip of red underfoot and a burst of blue in the heel.
Haring’s art is added on the lateral side heel with a running character underneath “New York” spelled out in white lettering. The tongue tags feature more NYC-centric Haring art, with green characters surrounding a big red apple and New York written in bold red letters. The co-branding continues on the insole, with Saucony and Haring logos next to a heart with legs character.
The Keith Haring x Saucony ProGrid Triumph 4 was released October 31, 2025 through Saucony and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $175. For all the latest collab sneaker news, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
