Seen in the recently released Jeremy Scott SS12 Footwear Preview collection are a variety of eccentric hybrid shoes. Out of the line's many eccentric looks, one certainly stands out the most; that being an open-toed, gladiator sandal and running show hybrid. Sporting adidas' classic three black stripes, this Jeremy Scott creation is anything but classic. With an open-toed design, woven exterior and chunky sole, this sandal boasts features of a classic, gladiator-type sandal and a basketball shoe. Comfort and outlandish style are undeniably fused in this one design.
The rest of the Jeremy Scott SS12 Footwear Preview collection is similar in terms of unconventional design and style; Scott has included shoes showcasing stuffed gorillas and all-over leopard felt. Scott's nonconformist designs are noteworthy in both his clothing and footwear collections.
