# Surgery Line Tattoos Ransom and Adidas Sell New Shoes With Inked Models By Brian G Randles | Published 2010-02-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/line-tattoos References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2010/02/ransom-adidas-originals-2010-springsummer-creek/) & [glltn](http://glltn.com/blog/2010/02/ransom-footwear-by-adidas-originals-–-ss-2010-collection-–-matte-ballistic-nylon-leather-creek/) The Creek shoe is a new product from Ransom and [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contranatural) Originals for the Spring and Summer of 2010. But as sweet as the footwear is, I am liking the simple, yet unique line tattoos being sported by the leg model in the picture. Plastic surgery is so common now, why not get a couple of surgical line tattoos that say, "I am permanently about to get shinplants" Sorry, going back to the shoes now. They are offered in beige and black and feature a nylon and premium leather upper. Very nice.
