Trinidad James Hommewrk x Saucony Jazz 81 « Sorrel Red »

Atlanta multidisciplinary rapper TRINIDAD JAME$, has teamed up with the SAUCONY label through his fledgling Hommewrk brand for a limited edition of Jazz 81. Named « Sorrel Red » this special shoe celebrates the musician’s Trinidadian heritage.

Trinidad Jame$ is a Trinidad-born American rapper and songwriter from Atlanta. He’s signed to DEF JAM Recordings, and is also the head of his own label : Gold Gang Records. For the record, Trinidad Jame$ is credited on the Grammy-winning track « Uptown Funk » by Bruno Mars.

For the first steps of his HOMMEWRK brand, the artist presents a very first collaboration that makes sense for him. This Saucony matches a sneaker he owned as an immigrant when he moved to America. It also marks SAUCONY’s first footwear collaboration with a musician.

Launched at last weekend’s ComplexCon in Long Beach, California in limited quantities, the collaborative shoe pays homage to TRINIDAD JAME$’s favorite drink, Sorrel, made from dried hibiscus flower petals.

It comes in a red/pink combination and combines materials reminiscent of the classic Trinidadian recipe. We find a textured red leather base with a matching tongue and tonal suede overlays at the eyelets and heel. To complete the tribute, elements are dressed in pink, such as the iconic « river » logo on the side, the heel tab, the semi-translucent overlay on the toe and most of the midsole (the remaining part under the heel is dressed in red). The HOMMEWRK branding engraved in pink on the leather tongue and affixed in yellow on the heel affirms the collab. To ensure inspiration, a hibiscus flower is embroidered on the inside of the tongue, the pink insole features the slogan « DO YOUR HMMWKD » and 3 sets of laces are included. The whole set is supported by a glossy pink toe cap that provides the final harmonious touch.

Following the exclusive launch of the collab at ComplexCon, co-branded accessories and school supplies are donated to Crete Academy, a school in Los Angeles that helps homeless students.

The Trinidad Jame$ Hommewrk x Saucony Jazz 81 « Sorrel Red » will be released worldwide on Black Friday, November 26, 2021, on saucony.com for 130$. Be ready !
