The collaboration between Converse and Italian luxury fashion house Missoni returns, this time in two black and cream colorways, both with a visible embossed red leather tongue to accent.

A new wrinkle in the adidas Originals by Originals "Wings" series

Our love affair with Jeremy Scott’s adidas Originals by Originals “Wings” high top sneaker is a confusing one. While part of me loves them, part of me finds them unbearably garish. Still, they’re impossible to not notice, and now they’re going Glow In the Dark via the 3M treatment they’re given above. It’s nearly impossible […]

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.

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 […]
