Is Jeremy Scott channeling The Boss with his latest lineup of adidas Originals silhouettes? Looking at the February 2012 releases for the ongoing collaborative collection there’s the denim pair and this flag bearing pair, the combo of which easily evokes a Bruce Springsteen aura. We’re not even going to pretend to understand what’s going on in Jeremy Scott’s head though, so it may be mere coincidence. Taking the upcoming patriotic colorway at face value works just as well, with the two halves of the pair repping opposite parts of Old Glory.

We’ve had several previews from Jeremy Scott’s adidas Originals by Originals capsule for the latter half of 2012 thanks to photos emanating from the recently wrapped Bread & Butter Berlin tradeshow, and even with all the multicolored animal printing and tie-dyed fleece, J.Scott shows it’s possible to be just as ostentatious without a single ‘color’. The new Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals JS Forum Hi is a far cry from the ‘Money’ midtop that helped make his mark in the sneaker scene, this black leather design adding four silver-buckled straps that match the detailing found on the newly-installed kickplate extension. This latest design makes it clear that Scott has a million and one different ways to alter familiar silhouettes, and that there’s more to 1980s basketball hightops than skate shoe conversions.

Is Jeremy Scott a bigger draw for adidas than their biggest sports superstars like David Beckham or Derrick Rose? There’s no doubt that J.Scott’s adidas Originals by Originals releases are among the most eye-grabbing designs on the market today, and he’s taken embellishing sneaker silhouettes to a new level. Each of these three has its own type of special extra, be it the tail on the Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals JS Leopard, the removable mercury wings on the original JS Wings in denim, or the built-in kind you get from the JS Wings 2.0, pictured above in the new ‘Air Force Flag’ colorup. Built for the brave, these all have a take-it-or-leave-it appeal, kind of like the essence of the retailers that are now selling them like Chicago’s LDRS1354.

Nothing about Jeremy Scott’s adidas Originals by Originals is about blending into the background, so you might have already seen these in the distance when viewing some of our other previews from Bread & Butter Berlin. The Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals JS Hiking Boot pictured above is easily the wildest take on this traditional trail design yet, a neon green macro croc patent leather explosion whose black sole and eyelets and pink-outlined purple branding make these look like part of a lasertag/paintball uniform. Along with J.Scott’s safari of an Instinct Hi, we have a growing body of evidence where Three Stripes’ most audacious guest designer has comfortably settled in at the leading edge of one of this year’s most notable trends. Let us know how these compare to the comparatively understated polka-dotted pair that hit retailers most recently, and stick with Sneaker News for more info. via Numelo

Bread and Butter Berlin is right in their backyard, so adidas Originals took the opportunity to unveil a variety of looks in store for the second half of this year at the biannual tradeshow. Key among Three Stripes efforts for the future, as has been the case for a few years running now, was the Jeremy Scott Originals by Originals capsule, which has managed to continue dropping jaws even after we’ve come to appreciate Scott’s mad science. His latest adidas Originals JS Wings 2.0 is cast in silver from head to toe, a mix of patent leather and what looks like a highly textured mesh, and adds unique details like reflective segments on the toe and a zippered tongue guard to separate these from all the previous colorways on this model. A unique take on a standout design, this kind of envelope pushing is at the very heart of this long-running collabo series, but where does it rank against the recognized greats like the recently retroed ‘Money’ Forums? Let us know when you have a closer look at these after the jump, and stick with Sneaker News for the exact release date this holiday season. via Numelo

Sneaker News’ most recent look into the future of Jeremy Scott’s adidas Originals by Originals capsule wasn’t clear like a crystal ball, but rather expressed a whole range of colors as if mimicking light passing through a prism. The same kind of over-the-top high-contrast design is at work here with the Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals Instinct Hi, a model that instead of opting for a license plate or some such other tongue embellishment, opts for a wide range of eye-catching colors, all set to the tune of a quartet of macro animal prints. J.Scott’s typically light years ahead of the curve when it comes to new trends, but this design for fall 2012 sees him put a twist on one of the year’s biggest trends; how does this style compare to the more traditional approach for animal looks including horsehair and the like?

The winter tradeshow season is bringing us a look at what to expect from the major sneaker manufacturers during the second half of the year, and when it comes to Jeremy Scott’s adidas Originals by Originals capsule, we already know from the jump we’re getting something wacky. And while these might not capture attention in the same way that the upcoming ‘tie-dye’ JS Teddy Bear will with its ostentatious yellow build, this new Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals JS Wings is indeed one of the bolder looks he’s dropped with Three Stripes. They’re vaguely reminiscent of the 2NE1 collabo, but the addition of bold black lines throughout their soft fleece uppers has these looking like a product tie-in for that new Jet Set Radio game for which fans have been waiting over a decade. But you won’t have to wait that long for these new JS Wings, as the preview at Bread & Butter Berlin suggests these are a fall 2012 release. Click through to see them from some other angles and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date. via Numelo

Not to overlook any of the designers who brought us innovations like split builds, internal neoprene booties and offset lacing, but has anyone ever done more than Jeremy Scott to push the boundaries of size and shape when it comes to sneaker tongues? Scott’s Originals by Originals capsule by now a seasonal institution, Three Stripes’ mad scientist has gone back into the lab and concocted some new configurations for modern classics like the Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals JS Teddy Bear and JS Wings 2.0, and you can see those and more from the fall/winter 2012 collection after the jump. Sneaker News will let you know when each of these hits US retailers in the second half of the year, so let us know which pairs you’re most eagerly anticipating. via EUkicks
