It’s Trash Day adidas Originals Jeremy Scott Jumpsuit

It’s Friday, time to take out the trash. Jeremy Scott is known in the sneaker world for creating some of the most amazing shoes ever.  Some say they might be outlandish and Scott makes shoes you can’t regularly wear. I defend that Jeremy Scott produces art disguised as footwear and that everything he makes is amazing.  Well that was until I looked at his 2011 Lookbook and saw the outfit with the “metal holes.” The rest of the story after the break.

I know Jeremy is creative and innovative, but can anyone really explain to me what this outfit is supposed to represent.  It is a desert camouflaged jacket and pants with metal holes of varying sizes all over. The black tracksuit was all the rage in the 80’s and 90’s.  Everyone wanted an authentic adidas tracksuit and it had to be adidas.  I guess this is a homage to a time when adidas was at the peak of workout clothing sales. This is the tracksuit for the guy who thinks the climate fit isn’t giving him enough breathability. Why not just make the outfit in the desert camo motif and leave it at that?  Why add all the metals hole?  The craziest part is the holes are all over the pants and shirts. There are holes were holes have never been before.  Is that to create shock value?  To have people staring at the holes to see if they can sneak a peek.  Where would you wear this outfit?  This is the exact outfit you would wear if you were going to attend a rave. I can see it now, you with glow sticks in each hand and a pacifier in the mouth.  I just don’t see most people wearing this outfit to their local watering hole.  They would have you committed.

Mr. Scott,

I admire you for being creative and thinking outside the box.  Do you think you could, next time, make and outfit that a normal person would wear outdoors.  I love  you shoes and support all the eccentric shoe design choices.  You are a much better designer then this abomination on the page.  Maybe I am completely wrong and this is the future of clothes, but in the present this outfit would get a person beat up.  I still believe in your power to design the most incredible shoes.

Yours in shoe love,

Joe

This isn’t the only piece in the collection.  I will post a link to the entire collection, so you can see all the crazy clothes.  Yes, there are items that are more crazy then the tracksuit with “metal holes.” What do you think of the “metal holes” tracksuit? Is this something you would ever wear?
