A slightly hotter derivation of Scott's "Leather Wings"

More footwear madness from the mind of Jeremy Scott, this time the “Fire” edition for his Spring/Summer 2011 Originals by Originals collection. All of his shoes made in collaboration with adidas have been hot, but these literally take the title with their exaggerated flame treatment shooting out from the high-tops. A slight derivation from Scott’s […]

When sneakers and hiking boots mate

Lanvin combine the high-top sneaker and infuse it with various hiking boot features — such as D-ring lace holes and higher-cut silhouette — to make their Hi-Top Hiking Sneaker. The premium brown nubuck and suede are contrasted with purple laces, and implemented with a full-length vertical zipper for easy entry. Nothing at the high end […]

The latest in the adidas Originals x Star Wars Fall/Winter 2010 Collection is modeled ostensibly after the most famous giant talking piece of feces in Science Fiction History, Jabba the Hutt. The “Jabba The Hutt” Attitude […]

adidas Originals x Star Wars “Super Death Star” Stormtrooper Conductor Hi Sneakers

I’m not sure which I’d wear more, but I think I prefer these Conductor Hi “Super Death Star” Stormtrooper sneakers over the Jabba the Hutt Attitude His above. Not that they’re any less ostentatious, but the black colorway makes them significantly more wearable than emerald green. Another edition in the collaboration between adidas Originals and […]


As can be expected by his past shoes for his Adidas Originals by Originals Collection, Jeremy Scott’s latest creation continues the over-the-top aesthetics for Fall/Winter 2010. The new Leather Wings 2.0 white and black high top sneakers feature exaggerated Hermes-like (the god, not the luxury brand) wings that flare from the heel (instead of, say, […]
