Adidas ObyO JS Flames - Kicks On Fire!


JS Flames - Hot Commodity
Jeremy Scott came up with a fly concept with JS Wings by giving it a pair of wings. Sneakerheads all over the world took notice and Adidas ObyO (Originals by Originals) Jeremy Scott Collection gained a cult following. As if JS Wings wasn’t fly enough, he came up with the JS Wings 2.0 and elevated its flight to another level. For Adidas ObyO Jeremy Scott – Spring/Summer 2011 Collection, Jeremy Scott set the JS Wings 2.0 on fire… literally! Dubbed as JS Flames, this fiery sneaker brings the heat to the Spring/Summer 2011 Collection as it hits the retailer shelves. Is the JS Flames hot enough? Read my full review and find out.

JS Wings 2.0 variant in flames
The first thing you’ll notice about JS Flames is its apparent similarities with JS Wings 2.0. No surprise about that since it is a derivative of its predecessor after all. Both share the same high top silhouette, leather base, and the winged panels at the heel. What gives JS Flames its fiery character is the winged panels, enmeshed in an outline of flowing flames. A smart gradient of orange red to light yellow hues gradually dust the leather upper from front to back, giving it a convincing glow… you can almost feel the heat!

Adidas Signature Three Stripes
The signature three stripes, classic trefoil logo at the back, the laser engraved Adidas signature, and the Jeremy Scott sockliner identify JS Flames’ pedigree to the Adidas ObyO brand. This limited edition sneaker is only available in limited boutiques, in very limited quantities, making it more appealing to hardcore sneakerheads worldwide. This kind of stuff makes the underground sneaker market the big bucks that it's worth today.

Adidas Classic Trefoil Logo
Overall, JS Flames lived up to the ‘burning’ hype since its unveiling on October 2010. What’s hotter than a sneaker on fire? Beats me! Jeremy Scott has outdone himself with this latest JS Wings variant and it makes me wonder how it will evolve in the next Adidas ObyO Jeremy Scott Collection.
