HOMMEWRK, the label of multi-disciplinary rapper TRINIDAD JAME$, and sportswear brand SAUCONY are cementing their partnership by announcing a new collaborative pair. In addition to the previously released JAZZ 81 remodeled in yellow, red and black (available on this site), the Atlanta-based artist teases a « Maxi Blue » version.
Named Curriculum 3, this silhouette is a reinterpretation of the legendary JAZZ 81.
According to Trinidad Jame$ and HOMMEWRK’s Instagram posts, this new variation is inspired by the « Maxi taxis » found on the streets of Trinidad and Tobago, the Atlanta-based rapper’s roots. These private minibuses regularly transport students and families.
The Curriculum 3 « Maxi Blue » is dressed in blue in reference to the contrasting horizontal stripe on some white Maxi Taxis.
The sneaker consists of an upper combining different shades of blue and various materials. The side panels come in a very light sky blue color, while the heel, tongue, laces and inner lining appear in the darkest shade of blue. The iconic Saucony logo is retained on the quarter panel and Trinidad Jame$’s HOMMEWRK branding adorns the tongue in relief. A two-tone midsole and a light blue semi-translucent outsole harmoniously finalize the design.
The Trinidad Jame$ HOMMEWRK x Saucony Curriculum 3 « Maxi Blue » will be released on August 13, 2022 as a limited edition in Trinidad and Tobago, before arriving worldwide via the hommewrk.com online store and at saucony.com.
