The [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freizeit) ObyO with JS Bones Flintstone shoe is a collector's item based off of the designer's love for the Flinstones. The concept was simply to create a pair of Hardland sneakers inspired by the fashionable stylings of Fred Flintstone for the fall 2011 Adidas ObyO collection.

The sneakers feature three large [bones going up the eyestay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bone-pattern) of the shoe, which can actually be removed for those of who prefer the classic look. The [cheetah print lining the shoe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-stan-smith-beaded) is inspired by Flintstone's toga and the remaining accents on the shoe are done in teal and purple. These limited-edition Adidas ObyO with JS Bones Flintstone shoes may be a little flashy, but they sure are super neat sneakers.
