As Nas once said, “No idea’s original, there’s nothing new under the sun.” That idea, in some ways, rings true in fashion — especially in the increasingly popular luxury sneaker game.
After noticing that the upcoming adidas Yeezy 350 Boosts bear an uncanny resemblance to a shoe the company Kanye West previously worked with creates, Hip-Hop Wired decided list it and a bevy of other kicks with swagger jacked designs. Hit the jump for more.

adidas x Kanye West Yeezy 350 Boost / Nike Air Roshe
adidas isn’t a luxury brand, though their first collection with Kanye West is priced like one. Yeezus also is petty. Don’t let them tell you any different.
Saint Laurent Paris SL/10H / Air Jordan 1
Either shoe is a great addition to your collection.
Common Projects B-Ball High / Nike Dunk High
Common Projects are known for their minimalistic silhouettes. This one, however, is clearly influenced by the Dunk.
Isabel Marant Étoile Bart / adidas Stan Smith
Those Marants are pretty clean. I cannot lie.
Céline Calfskin Sneaker / Nike Air Force 1 Mid
Nothing beats a pair up Forces, Uptown’s or whatever you want to call them. Sorry.
Hender Scheme / Air Jordan IV
What does Tinker Hatfield think about this?
Marni Running Sneakers / Nike Air Rift
The Nike Air Rift wasn’t a particularly successful model, but that didn’t stop Marni from swagger jacking.
Maison Martin Margiela Slip-On / Vans Slip-On
How does Margiela justify their $570 price tag?
Bape BAPESTA / Nike Air Force 1 Low
The BAPE/Air Fore 1 conversation is pretty dated at this point, but needs to be mentioned.
Visvim Skagway Hi-Folk / Converse All Star
Visvim, like most Japanese streetwear brands, know how to put a spin on classic products. But at the root, the Skagway Hi-Folk is a pair of Chuck Taylors.
