Adidas Pulls My Pet Monster Shackle High Tops

We brought you pictures of Beverly Hills designer Jeremy Scott’s new line of Adidas Originals last week, but one product in particular has brought quite a bit of attention and drama to the line; so much so that the shoe has been dropped. Jeremy Scott denies that the shoes are a veiled attempt at racism and took to Twitter to defend his design: 

MY WORK HAS ALWAYS BEEN INSPIRED BY CARTOONS, TOYS & MY CHILDHOOD…twitpic.com/9y0bzx

Although dropped, keep an eye out for these shoes on eBay; knockoffs and its status as an unreleased collector’s item will place this look in high downtown demand for fall.
