Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals JS Wings   White   Gold + Rainbow   Available
Thanks to the attention-grabbing track record of Jeremy Scott’s previous footwear designs for adidas Originals, he is now faced with the daunting challenge of outdoing himself each new season. Although he has created numerous different sneakers for adidas, the JS Wings is easily his most recognizable offering. For Spring 2010, Scott whipped up two new colorways of the JS Wings that go in two totally different directions in terms of aesthetics.
On the more simplistic side, one pair sports a very clean and simple white patent leather upper with contrasting gold stitching as an added touch of flavor. The other new Wings colorway goes towards the other extreme by using an iridescent multi-colored rainbow upper to give the popular model its boldest look yet. Whether you’re looking for flashy or a little more conservative, one version or the other should have you covered in style. If you’ve been waiting for these to hit retailers, you can finally find both at Packer Shoes or from shaolin8 on eBay.

Nike Blazer High   Walking on Water 2.0 Customs by Diversitile
Methamphibian and SBTG are the big dogs in the sneaker-customization game, but these latest customs by Diversitile are definitely causing a splash. Here is the latest in their “Walking on Water” customs – a Nike Blazer High Nintendo Wii pack, following up on the Sistine Chapel Blazers with another pair influenced by some divine imagery. The already clear-blue sole evokes an aquatic vibe so Diversitile was definitely on the right track with these. As all customs go, quantities are limited, but a run of 6-10 pairs may be available. Check out the pics after the jump and let us know what you think of these customs. via Diversitile.

Gourmet Spring 2010 Footwear Collection
Gourmet initially got a lot of play from the controversy over its ‘plagiarized’ Air Jordans designs. But since then, the guys from Gourmet have managed to evolve and pretty much create their own style and look to help pioneer the lifestyle sneaker trend. We gave a preview of what’s in store so far for Spring/Summer 2010, but here’s a better look at all the styles and colorways available. Along with some of their more recognizable mids in new color choices, there are also a few low-cuts thrown into a mix. All are now available online, and should be stocked soon at select retailers.

10 Questions for Tinker Hatfield: Nike Design Gurutinker
The folks over at WWD.com had a chance to sit down with one of the most influential shoe designers in the world, Tinker Hatfield. Working on Jordan’s brand from the III to XX, Tinker has quite a bit of experience with shaping the sneaker world.
Tinker, a trained architect who joined Nike in 1981, is behind the Air Jordan 2010 that hit stores this week. In the article Nike design guru discusses creating Jordan’s newest shoe, the trials of bringing an idea to life and the new realities of customization.
Here are a few juicy bits from the article:
9. The finished Jordan 2010 has a bottom-loaded airbag and incorporates a more flexible outsole — both features from the running world. Do you see a lot of crossover between running and basketball?
TH: We’re just transferring all those years of experience with running shoes into basketball. When you’re playing basketball, you’re running and jumping and moving laterally. So running is a component, and running fast is a component. We can learn a lot from running shoes and transfer those ideas into basketball in a basketball-appropriate way.
11. The Jordan shoes have become infamous for their detailed, specific inspiration stories — a cat’s paw, fencing, racecars. What inspired you this time?
TH: [For previous shoes], we’d talk about Michael’s personality, the way he plays or maybe we would draw inspiration from some piece of art, a car or motorcycle, or architecture. In this case, we eschewed looking at it like architecture or looking at poster design, object design, car design, motorcycle design or fighter-jet design. We didn’t go that way. We sort of stuck a little bit closer to home with what we needed to do to build a really good basketball shoe.
The article has a lot more information and is definitely worth a read; specially for those that customize and fashion designers.
