Sneaker culture is synonymous with the urban, and it's not uncommon to see street art in shoe advertisements, but Adam Haynes brings a certain creativity to the concept that is uncommon. I mean, have you ever seen an Adidas Superstar drawn as a dilapidated car? Didn't think so.
Adam Haynes is an artist based in Portland, Oregon, whose famous clients include Nike, Adidas, Timberland, Wired Magazine, and much more. As you can see from his illustration gallery, Adam Haynes' art combines urban street art ideas with elements of the fantastical, and the results are simply showstopping.
My favorite of the bunch has got to be the Adidas logo, which is drawn as though it was entirely constructed of LEGO.
