Westside Gunn doesn’t miss with Saucony. His debut collab sold out at retail before eBay listings spiked into the thousands and StockX settled into steady triple digit territory that’s still climbing months later. Now the Buffalo rapper and Griselda Records founder is back with the Grid Jazz 9 “Awesome God,” a louder mashup of animal print paneling and moccasin lacing that leans hard into his signature chaos. The release comes in two waves instead of one, giving resellers more than a single shot to cop. Round one already proved this partnership moves. The question is whether round two holds up.

Saucony Westside Gunn Sneaker Details

The Grid Jazz 9 “Awesome God” releases August 28 for $225 through Blientele, Westside Gunn’s own site, alongside a Saucony EQL raffle that opens August 27 at midnight.

The upper mixes cheetah, zebra, cow, and faux pony hair paneling with bright pink and yellow accents on the logos and tongue, finished off with leather moccasin laces. Griselda Records’ scorpion shows up stamped on the heel, printed on the insole, and on the hangtag, tying the shoe back to the label as directly as the design allows.

This isn’t Westside Gunn’s first Saucony release. The ProGrid Triumph 4 “Super FlyGod” launched in December 2025 at $195 and sold out at retail within minutes.

Early eBay asks reportedly climbed past $2,500 before the market settled down. On StockX, that shoe has traded in a $200 to $900 range over the past year, with a $502 average sale price over the last three months and a most recent sale at $825.

Blientele makes every item to order and ships 10 to 14 business days after the sale closes, and the site states plainly that all sales are final. There’s no built in safety net if sizes don’t move or this colorway doesn’t land the way the last one did. Treat this as a real financial commitment rather than a guaranteed flip.

Bottom Line

Given how previous releases have performed, this is worth the effort for anyone who can secure a pair at retail. Just know going in that a miss on resale means sitting on inventory you can’t return.
