Although his Diplomat days are pretty yeezy mafia much in the books (save for a few reunion shows here and there), rapper Juelz Santana s outfits still echo a bit of that patriotic flair that was tied up in the Dipset aesthetic from the get go. Here we see him double dipping, going with the Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals JS Wings 2.0 USA on the feet and a matching trefoil logo shirt with the same stars and stripes motif. Is Santana taking notes from Harlem s next wave the A$AP Mob with their J Scott obsession? Let us know what you think in the comments below and also take note of Meek Mill keeping things simple with a pair of Timbs and Wale doing quite the opposite with his space age Masion Martin Margiela s.

If you were to look at the name of this latest Three Stripes drop and compare it to recent output from adidas Originals, a well-intentioned guess would have you imagining something entirely different. In a sort of What the Land move, adidas surprises us with a new design that despite its glancing connection to the vulc-soled Hardland, opts for a different kind of classic basketball bottom. And that s not all that makes the adidas Blue Hikelander Snow stand out from the pack, this bubble-quilted, nylon and suede design secured with a adidas climacool wildly inventive elastic cord system. This new silo hits the scene in one of the cleanest yet most attention-grabbing red, white and blue sneakers we ve seen during this Olympic summer offering more of that palette than any other style. adidas once again proves it s at its best when breaking new ground, and you can see more of the unique Hikelander Snow when you click the jump below. via Sneaker Freaker

Sneaker customizer JBF is known for his specialty the Nike Blazer (and to a lesser extent, the Dunk Low), but his latest output proves it s not just the Swoosh s classic basketball models with which he can work that unique brand of magic. Quite to the contrary, as we see his latest emanate from two other brands with headquarters in Oregon, one of whom happens to be Nike s biggest competitor. The adidas Pro Model High Pendleton applies a vibrant woolen print from one of America s heritage brands to the Blazer-like Pro Model silhouette for one of the most pleasing if understated customs we ve seen in recent memory. Longtime Sneaker News readers might remember The Shoe Surgeon s Pendleton Skytop III, and if so, you can t help but notice the connection between models either originally created as or inspired by old school basketball sneakers, seem like the best canvases for Pendleton s wool products (remember their ACG Blazer and Valenki from late 2008?).

It can be established that first recognized athletic sneaker the Converse Chuck Taylor was a story in itself, bringing the rebellious attitude to an organized sport. adidas recently embarked upon a refreshed Your Story capsule earlier this month, creating five distinct colorways transferred through memories of the Olympics from a select group of notable individuals, and continues with the Second Drop with five more special edition models. The collaborators engulf a wide range of influence, from artist/designer Stefan Glerum of Amsterdam (Decade Hi) and Junior Olympic swimmer Shaniqwa Jarvis (ZX500). The complete set is detailed just below, so take a look and stay tuned for more updates on the Your Story collection! via HB
