Parents may never understand, but Will always had it. From day one, The Fresh Prince has been rocking sneaker heat and continues to do so today. He wasn’t alone in the action as seen in this vintage photo of him and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Smith went with the Pippen endorsed Nike Air Flight Lite,while Jazz kept it athletic in the Nike Air Trainer SC.

The Nike Air Trainer Classic is a silhouette that effectively draws inspiration from the well-received Air Trainer SC Low. Today, the Air Trainer Classic arrives at select retailers in a familiar colorway that is sure to impress. White leather covers the majority of the upper with shades of grey on the Swoosh and heel panel. Hints of teal grace the inner liner, tongue and midsole. Check out additional images below.

Just want to buy a pair of adidas JS Wings – Denim right now? adidas JS Wings – Denim.

Jeremy Scott obviously loves his ultimate creation, the adidas JS Wings that he keeps modifying from the day it came into its debut. With so much JS Wings releases, we may think that both Scott and adidas have been overdosing their fans, and yet what a great way to get completely indulged. This model so far is one of the coolest styles ever that brought a bizarre idea into one remarkable masterpiece.

Today, the denim version is up and is starting to soar higher in a rugged-looking upper. The adidas JS Wings – Denim possesses an upper that is completely made up of stone-washed blue denim fabric with yellow outlines on the wings to keep tracking smaller details while the eyelets come in bronze, a perfect denim button-like accent. On the heel you will notice of the fully-embroidered trefoil logo and on the tongue is another trefoil tab. This shoe sits on a subtle semi-translucent rubber sole unit.

You can cop a pair of this Wings’ latest craze at adidas retailers.
