Westside Gunn Saucony Grid Jazz 9 "Awesome God": Aug 28
Westside Gunn's Saucony Grid Jazz 9 "Awesome God" drops August 28, 2026 for $225 via EQL raffle. Here are the confirmed date, price, sizing, and how to buy.
When does Westside Gunn's Saucony Grid Jazz 9 "Awesome God" drop?
Westside Gunn's Saucony Grid Jazz 9 "Awesome God" drops August 28, 2026, timed to Westside Gunn Day in Buffalo, New York. It is priced at $225 USD, offered in unisex sizing from US 3.5 to 14, and released through Saucony's EQL raffle, online, and select global retailers rather than as a standard general release.
What are the confirmed specs, price, and sizing?
Reported and officially announced details for the collaboration are consistent across coverage:
- Release date: August 28, 2026
- Price: $225 USD
- Sizing: unisex, US 3.5 to 14
- Silhouette: Saucony Grid Jazz 9, also referenced as "Awesome God" or "Awesome Gods"
- Where to buy: Saucony's EQL raffle, Saucony online, and select global retailers
Because it is positioned as a limited event instead of a broad restock, expect pairs to sell in a single window rather than staying in stock.
Why is the August 28 date significant?
August 28 carries local meaning in Buffalo. The city has recognized the date as Westside Gunn Day since a 2019 mayoral proclamation honoring the rapper, real name Alvin Worthy, and the Griselda collective he helped build. Tying the Grid Jazz 9 launch to that date turns the release into a hometown moment, which is part of why the drop is trending after the date was formally confirmed following earlier previews. You can read more on Westside Gunn's background for context.
Why do collectors expect it to be scarce?
Three factors stack scarcity here. First, it is a celebrity-designed sneaker, so demand extends past core runners to Griselda and streetwear fans. Second, the single dated release window creates a numbered-feeling event rather than an open-ended stock. Third, the EQL raffle format means buyers enter for a chance to purchase instead of adding to cart, which caps confirmed pairs and typically raises resale attention after launch.
If you missed the raffle or want the thrill of chasing a scarce item without paying resale premiums, the mystery boxes at TroveDrops let you open for a chance at real sneakers, tech, and collectibles, with the published odds shown before you open.
How do you enter the EQL raffle or improve your odds?
For the official pair, watch Saucony's channels and the EQL platform for the raffle window ahead of August 28, register early with accurate payment and shipping details, and enter the moment the raffle opens. Raffles are random, so entering one does not guarantee a pair, and buying from resellers afterward usually means paying above the $225 retail price.
TroveDrops takes a different approach to landing sought-after items: every box lists real odds up front. You can browse boxes and odds to see exactly what is inside and how likely each outcome is before spending anything.
How does TroveDrops keep the odds honest?
Scarce sneaker drops reward transparency, and so does TroveDrops. Every box uses a provably-fair system, so each result is generated from values you can independently check after opening rather than trusting the house. If you hit an item you would rather not keep, you can ship it or sell it back to site credit. Learn how the verification works on the provably-fair page, then compare the published odds before you open.
