In 2008, Adidas paired with American designer Jeremy Scott to launch an apparel and footwear collaboration line called Jeremy Scott for Adidas originals by originals, in which standout pieces from the collection include modified versions of the iconic Metro Attitude High sneaker. In 2010, the Metro Attitude High gets the Jeremy Scott treatment again--most notably, in the form of a Greek statuesque marble winged shoe. This shoe makes one wonder that if they were to go to the Louvre, would they find the Athena Nike demanding her winged sandals be returned?
In previous iterations, Jeremy Scott's winged Metro Attitude highs had removable leather wings, whereas in this latest version, the wings are affixed to the side of the shoe. The look can be modified slightly by tightening and loosening laces hidden at the back of the shoe. The muted marble leather print is an unexpected but haute detail that makes these shoes a wearable and
parable instant classic: a modern-day Hermes/Mercury, if you will. But that's just my opinion. Just don't shoot the
messenger.
I wish we have Jeremy Scott X Adidas here in Sweden. The marble effect on these winged hightops is really witty.
