Saucony's Fishy New Grid 9000 Sneaker Was Made For Mermaids

Have you ever seen the Instagram Crimes Against Shoemanity? Charting shoe-based offenses that go well beyond Crocs into the realm of penis-shaped high heels and carp shoes, it's one of those accounts you follow for the joy of simultaneously enthralling and disgusting yourself. Well, we have to admit that these scaly new Saucony Grid 9000s, as awesome as they are, are creeping quickly toward that polarizing realm. But ugly footwear is in, right?

Consisting of a vibrant rubberized front and midsole in either coral or mango colorways, contrasted with a rich brown fish scale-like section, the statement sneaker is original to say the least. It's the kind of footwear you'd expect the Little Mermaid to wear if she was more G, and actually had feet. Streetwear-obsessed human mermaids, however, step right up.

Get a closer look in the gallery above and shop both colorways at Oneness for $120.
