After seeing the sneaker in this new picture above, this news sucks. It appears the anticipated next collaboration with VILLA and Wale using the Saucony Grid 9000 has been reportedly CANCELLED. As you can see from the news reported straight from VILLA themselves down below, the upcoming collaboration has been cancelled due to a legal dispute with the University of Pennsylvania.
This would have marked the third collaboration between Wale and VILLA as we have seen the two link up for ‘The Gift Box’ and the ‘The Bottle Rocket’, each selling out instantly. So who knows, these two coould have gone back to back to back with instant sell out of a product. We just have to wait until the summer to see what is presented next.
I regret to announce that this project has been cancelled due to a legal dispute with the University of Pennsylvania, over the similarity of the logo on the tongue and their Penn “P”. The sneaker will no longer be releasing and will not be available for purchase in any format.We have another project with Wale coming in the summer that you will hear about very soon.
