Totem Poll-Inspired Sneakers

The JS Wings Eagle Totem Shoes Are Inspired by Native Culture

— December 19, 2012 — Fashion
The JS Wings Eagle Totem sneakers are an abstract design that adds a bit of Native American influence to city kicks.

If you're familiar with the Adidas Originals Jeremy Scott collection of clothing and footwear these sneakers won't surprise you too much. There are no plush teddy bear heads to be found on these shoes, but Scott still throws in a pair of wings. They fit nicely with the overall Native American Totem pole aesthetic.

The tongue of the JS Wings Eagle Totem is made to look like a face that you might see engraved in a great wooden pillar. Bold colors help to highlight key features on the footwear like the Adidas logo at the back and grinning Totem face.
