adidas has been bringing the heat pretty consistently with their Originals division. How fitting that said heat comes just in time for the summer. This time the line collaborates with San Francisco based artist Eric Bailey for “Americana” Spring/Summer 2010.

Bailey’s self proclaimed vision is “naturalism vs. materialism”- conveyed in oil paintings of gorgeous, gilded, curvy ladies scantily clad alongside forest animals. Sounds crazy, but the pics are dope. Needless to say, his work has been toned down for the side of a hightop basketball shoe. The “Americana” collection will also feature tees, shorts, and hoodies, but the kicks are clearly the stars.–Nadine Graham
