The global financial meltdown that came to a head in late 2008 left the world economy in recession and forced everyone everywhere to cut out as much excess as possible. In the fashion world, this meant everything got slimmer and more conservative with the mid-’00s ultrabrite high contrast default giving way to a more ‘mature’ lean. So now some thirty months after the big meltdown, we’re starting to see some signs of life when it comes to crazy colorways, so it’s particularly interesting to see how Jeremy Scott’s ObyO capsule has stuck to its guns. This Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals JS Wings in Silver with Black trim first released in spring 2009, but we saw Oscar host Anne Hathaway rocking a pair while training for the upcoming award show, and right on time the model has again become available at retail.

Set to be unveiled this fall is this peculiar offering from Jeremy Scott as part of the adidas Originals by Originals collection. The fall/winter piece utilizes the iconic hardcourt favorite Attitude as the template for avant garde sneaker design as Jeremy Scott elects to incorporate three separate tongues into the design. Further bringing light to the shoe is its bold bumblebee colorway in black and yellow. The adidas Originals by Originals Jeremy Scott 3 Tongue Attitude will release in August of 2009
