JS New Wings Sneakers
The winged high-top that keeps Jeremy Scott's pop-sneaker mythology airborne.
Story & heritage
Jeremy Scott first turned adidas footwear into pop-culture spectacle in 2008 with the winged JS Wings. adidas returned to that signature in 2021, describing the comeback as a reprise of the notorious Wings silhouette that made Scott's footwear partnership instantly recognizable.
The wing attachment became the clearest symbol of Scott's habit of mixing streetwear accessibility with cartoon-scale exaggeration — the same irreverent blend the Jeremy Scott Wikipedia extract says defined his reputation after he launched his label in Paris in 1997.
Materials & craft
Current Forum Hi Wings 4.0 listings describe a leather upper, fabric lining and rubber sole, with the signature wings-style embellishment attached at the ankle. The design keeps the classic Forum structure — perforated upper, lace closure and strap — then turns the collar into the theatrical focal point.
How to choose & style
If you want the full Jeremy Scott effect, let the wings stay visible against cropped trousers or bare legs. In white or black, the silhouette still reads loud, but it works best when the rest of the outfit stays relatively clean and lets the profile do the talking.
