ADIDAS ORIGINALS BY JEREMY SCOTT JS WINGS “TOTEM” With another out of this world pair of sneakers, designer Jeremy Scott may have completely topped himself with his “Totem” JS Wings. Loosely tied into a Native American iconography, his loudest pair for the Spring/Summer 2013 pair looks toward a totem pole for inspiration, and explores a wide variety of colors in its makeup. The adidas Originals Attitude high-top shoe sits on a black EVA midsole with a ton of Native tribal design work with a mock warrior face on the tongue. You can preorder the shoes at LUISAVIAROMA for about $270.

If any of the 500 of you follow either of my other blogs, you know that things have been in a transitional period of late.

My full intention is to pick up this blog in a much more committed manner. What this blog does for my life and my career is priceless, and well worth my time. I am forced in running this blog to stay up on current trends, just like running my gallery’s blog forces me to be aware of happenings in Los Angeles arts. As I am committing more time to sneaker art again, this blog will once more become a place for my meditations in streetwear and art’s implications within that world.

I thank you for staying around.

Best,
Jacob

DWAYNE WADE SIGNS WITH LI-NING Talks of D-Wade’s desire to resign with Jordan Brand have been a popular topic for some time now. The rumors have been put to an end after Li-Ning athlete Evan Turner tweeted a warm welcome of ”the homie D Wade to the Li-Ning family!!!” Now that Wade has signed with a Chinese company, the American Jordan Brand will be looking for its new front man. It seems that Wade’s desire for an eight figure shoe deal from Li-Ning might have been too much for Jordan Brand, which may just as well move Chris Paul or Carmelo Anthony up into the limelight as they would sign a new star in Wade’s place.
