Yesterday we posted that the Jeremy Scott adidas Originals by Originals Pop-Up shop in London is now open. Scott is currently in London for fashion week and last night had a runway show for his upcoming collection. Nylon Magazine got a glimpse at an upcoming colorway of the now iconic adidas JS Wings. The kicks come in a metallic multi-colored colorway in shades of pink, yellow and blue. The kicks are expected to release as part of the adidas Originals by Originals Spring 2010 collection.

Also check out this video of Jeremy Scott at the Pop-Up shop in London. In the video Scott talks about his perspective on design in general and specifically on this collection specifically.
If you know about the history of adidas and Puma you are undoubtably aware of the feud between Adolf Dassler and Rudolf Dassler. In the 1920’s the two brothers created a company producing athletic footwear, however just after the end of the Second World War the company was dissolved.
In 1948, Adi Dassler set up adidas and Rudolf Dassler set up Puma in the Bavarian town of Herzogenaurach. The rivalry extended to the entire town based on employment.
Sadly the two brothers never reconciled their differences. However, the two companies they started are making peace with a friendly football match between the two companies in Herzogenaurach, where the rivalry is still alive. The event marks the first time the two companies have ever collaborated in their 60 year existence.
The match is set for tomorrow the 21st of September.
Today, neither side of the Dassler family plays a major role in either brand with Puma owned by French luxury conglomerate PPR and adidas is a publicly traded company with a diverse ownership.

Back in July we previewed the release of the adidas Skateboarding Campus Mid Vulc “Diagonal”. The kicks were created in tandem with the Diagonal skate film, which documents skaters on the adidas Skateboarding European team.
The sneakers were designed by Mark Irving of Delphi in a suede and canvas upper resting on a vulcanized sole. The kicks come in a black, poppy red and pool blue colorway with a triangular diagonal design.
The adidas Skateboarding Campus Mid Vulc “Diagonal” is set to release in the first week of October. In the UK, you will be able to find them at Flatspot.
Back in July we reported the adidas Nizza High “Skateboarding Team” pack. The pack consists of three adidas Nizza Highs designed by Mark Gonzales, Dennis Busenitz, and Tim O’Connor of the adidas Skateboarding team.
Despite the connection with skateboarding, the sneakers are standard releases without any beefed skate enhancements.
The adidas Nizza High designed by Dennis Busenitz has just released and is available at NYC based sneaker shop DQM. The kicks come in a brown suede construction with pink leather strips.
As pioneering Hip Hop label Def Jam celebrates its 25th anniversary, it has hooked up with adidas to celebrate the milestone.
