Wale's upcoming collaboration with Villa and Saucony has been canceled.

Citing a legal dispute with the University of Pennsylvania, Villa has announced that the planned Saucony Grid 9000 "Penn Relays" will not be releasing. The issue stems from the similarity of the shoe's "S" graphic to the school's "P" logo. Although this collab has been scrapped, Villa did make it known that a future project with Wale was already in the works and would be available at some point this summer.
