Jeremy Scott’s work with adidas often leaves readers scratching their heads. This pair involves actually wearing a head. Sporting a teddy bear’s furry little dome and arms on the upper portion, this newly-spotted adidas model is sure to prove divisive among readers. These are a ladies release for next Summer, but a men’s pair is also in the works in a more masculine tan colorway. Could you see yourself wearing this animalistic adidas?

Jordan Hallowed Ground Low White/Black

Surprisingly, the majority of the “Chicago” Jordan Hallowed Ground Low comments were positive seeing that many of you are usually disgusted by Jordan hybrids/fusions. In addition, we have now spotted another colorway of the low-cut Jordan Hallowed Ground. This pair opts for a simple color scheme and texture makeup. White leather smothers the entire midfoot section, while white patent leather surrounds the aforementioned area. A black, nubuck-textured strip separates the upper from the midfoot which contains a black/white splatter design.

Battle tested and King James approved, the Nike Zoom Soldier IV is the latest team sneaker from the now veteran swingman. A predominately white tumbled leather upper is complimented by an Orange Blaze insert. The bright shade of orange also graces the lining, midsole, outsole, and strap. This model bares the Lion logo on the tongue as well as the Dunkman on the heel. No official word if this orange team bank colorway is releasing, keep your eyes peeled.
