Jeremy Scott Reminds Us Who Invented The Winged Sneaker

The Aunt Pearl series has been a major force since Nike released the concept in 2011 with the KD IV. There’s no surprise behind the fact that the Aunt Pearl KD 7 was such a huge hit last month, with the winged strap offering a new take on this annual classic. And while Nike is known for their use of the feathered appendage on their early graphics with the Air Pegasus and others, it was adidas that brought the actual wing applique to a sneaker with the Wings 1.0 a few years back. The eccentric designer’s latest creation with adidas features a pair of all-white Superstars with the wings on the toe-box, and quite frankly, it’s as simple as a sneaker with a pair wings will ever get.
