In keeping with the religious theme for his F/W 2010 Originals by Originals line for Adidas, Jeremy Scott has embellished the tongue of some very high hi-tops with gilded crosses. The military-esque footwear fits right alongside the other clothing pieces in the collection.
Made of black leather, the Cross Trainer for Adidas by Jeremy Scott is an 11-hole lace-up boot/sneaker hybrid. Think of it as the more comfortable, lighter version of a combat boot with added sparkle.
