Jeremy Scott has been doing the animal inspired thing for adidas Originals for a minute now, but if you’re looking for a pair without all kinda wild additions hanging off the edges, then the Kinetics x adidas Originals Superstar 80s ‘Animal’ might be the one for you. Showing up on a classic shell-toed silhouette, the design here is a bit of a cross-breed with the leopard print horse hair matched with the scaly snakeskin of the side stripes. 2011 was certainly a big year for this sort of safari’d out sneaker, so can models like the Kinetics x adidas Originals Superstar 80s ‘Animal’ help carry the trend in 2012? Let us know what you think and hit the jump for extra shots of this upcoming collabo from adidas Originals. via Kenlu

It was just about one year ago that Sneaker News brought you evidence of then-upcoming releases from adidas Originals that showed a fairly strong trend toward utilizing wild animal prints on their beloved classic silhouettes. We got a look at two different Big Sean collabo Superstar shelltoe designs back in October whose subsequent disappearance suggests a release date sometime later this year, and now here comes even more momentum for the Three Stripes safari into 2012. The Kinetics x adidas Originals Superstar 80s ‘Animal’ is named appropriately for its use of leopard print horse hair on the uppers next to snakeskin scales on the side panel Stripes, but also as an indication of other similar designs to come as part of the summer ’12 collection. Check them out in greater detail after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for the other models from this set as well as word on their US availability. via Chapter World
