The Callen Schaub x Saucony Collection Launches in April 2024

Renowned abstract artist from Montreal, Callen Schaub, has integrated his creations into almost every surface; traditional canvases, garments, the human cranium, you designate it.

Throughout his career spanning over a decade, he has also applied his artistry to sneakers, having painted unique editions of the Reebok Trideca and Converse Chuck Taylor in the past. Now, in what could be considered his most significant moment in footwear, Saucony has enlisted him for a dual-piece collection displaying his distinctive style.

In contrast to those Reebok and Converse kicks, where paint physically dripped off the edges of Pollock-inspired works, the implementation of Schaub’s abstract methodology here is slightly more controlled.

On the Saucony Progrid Omni 9, it is thorough nonetheless, adorning the midsole with a marbled transition that shifts from cream-colored at the front to vibrant pinks and blues at the rear.

The same design is replicated on the upper, where the underlying synthetic materials are enveloped in a comparable assortment of swirling hues.

Conversely, the Saucony Shadow 6000 displays a more modest approach. Schaub’s influence is predominantly noticeable on the medial River emblem and the rear heel tab. While the tongue label features a painted patch of colors, the presentation in those aforementioned sections almost mimics urban lights, extending horizontally as if blurred by movement.

Beyond that, the color scheme is pristine and uncomplicated, with a well-balanced blend of white, blue, and black spanning the majority of the shoe.

Both models from the Callen Schaub x Saucony collaboration will be released on April 12th in the EU. As of now, a release in the United States has yet to be confirmed. Below, appreciate the images of the Callen Schaub x Saucony Shadow 6000 and Saucony Progrid Omni 9.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
