Adidas Originals by Originals Werecat by Alyasha Owerka-Moore

Next up to bat for spring/summer ’09 after the successful launch of Jeremy Scott’s collection for Adidas’ Originals by Originals is Alyasha Owerka-Moore, creator of brands such as Alphanumeric and FiberOps, and a world renowned fashion designer.  The inspiration here, as is with everything he does, is a vintage America ’40s and ’50s style.  The sneaker is as unique as its name, the Werecat, and designer.  One of the most instantly noticeable features is the crepe sole, something you don’t see everyday on an Adidas shoe.  That plus the boot styled shape of the shoe to go along with the padded collar gives it a Clarks Wallabee or Timberland Chukka bootesque feel.  The unique perforation all over the sneaker is reminiscent of the way wing tip shoes are perforated.  These are already available at select online retailers such as Caliroots.
