American designer Jeremy Scott has once again collaborated with [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jellyfish-sneaker) for these unique shark fin sneakers inspired by the tail lights found on classic cars.

Scott has created a number of intriguing and innovative shoe designs for adidas over the years and this latest release is certainly no different. The 'Shark Shoes' feature molded fins on the back of the sneaker, similar to those found on car designs from the 1950s and 19600s -- even featuring built-in [LED brake lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelkayano-14-4).

These shark fin-inspired sneakers come in an eye-catching baby blue glitter finish and also feature an oversized tongue, a leather lined interior and a contrasting darker blue outsole. With this bold piece of footwear, you'll be able to wear the sneaker equivalent of a classic car on your feet.
