Saucony Progrid Omni 9 'Red Black Cadet'
The Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 originally launched as a premium performance running shoe, built around Saucony's ProGrid cushioning system for responsive impact protection. It has since been revived as a lifestyle silhouette, riding the wave of early 2000s running shoe nostalgia alongside models like the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 and New Balance 860. The Omni 9's layered upper design and technical aesthetic have made it a favourite in the fashion-forward sneaker community.
The Red Black Cadet colourway pairs a pale grey perforated mesh upper with dark cadet green and black synthetic overlays caging the midfoot, eyestay and heel counter. Silver trims run through the layered panelling, with coral red picking out the heel branding, the lace loop and the outsole tread. Charcoal laces and black collar mesh keep the upper anchored above a white and grey midsole.
ProGrid cushioning technology for responsive, comfortable wear throughout the day. Open perforated mesh base with a rubberised synthetic cage for breathability with structure. SRC Impact Zone in the heel for enhanced shock absorption. Durable rubber outsole with multi-surface traction. Padded collar and tongue for a secure, comfortable fit.
Fit: Runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size.

The Red Black Cadet Omni 9 suits anyone who wants the retro runner shape in a darker, more muted palette than the white and silver executions. The grey and cadet base keeps it wearable daily while the coral accents give it enough character to avoid reading as plain. The ProGrid cushioning also means it holds up as a genuine all-day shoe.
The Red Black Cadet Omni 9 sits well with charcoal or olive joggers and washed denim, keeping the palette in the same cool range as the upper. The coral accents are contained enough to work as a highlight rather than a theme, so there is no need to pull red through the rest of the fit.
The ProGrid Omni 9 sits alongside the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14, New Balance 860 and Nike Zoom Vomero in the retro technical running category. Compared to the Gel-Kayano 14, the Omni 9 offers a wider fit and a more substantial midsole. Against the White Silver Blue and Blissful Blue White executions, Red Black Cadet runs darker and warmer, making it the better pick for anyone who finds the paler colourways too easy to mark.
Yes, the ProGrid Omni 9 runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. The mesh upper provides a comfortable, breathable fit without being too tight or too loose.
ProGrid is Saucony's cushioning technology that uses a grid-based system in the midsole to provide responsive impact protection. It distributes force evenly across the foot for comfortable all-day wear, whether you're walking, standing, or on the move.
This colourway is listed by the supplier as men's sizing and is stocked in UK 6 to UK 11. The shoe is unisex by design, so anyone whose size falls within that range can wear it.
We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting them in the washing machine as this can damage the synthetic overlays and mesh upper. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
