BJ Betts x Adidas Skateboarding
Posted by Nick Engvall | Nov 3, 2008 For 2009, Adidas Skateboarding has teamed up with tattoo artist BJ Betts. BJ is an incredible tattoo artist out of Delaware, known in the industry for his Tattoo Letter Guide. You can see his skills in shoe design are as on point as the needles he uses in his tattoo work.
The two colorways of these upcoming Adidas Skate models are pretty simple, it’s the intricate details that set them above the rest, just like you’d expect from a skilled tattoo artist. The low tops feature an eastern style dragon that you would usually find inked on someone’s skin. They also feature hints and outlines of coy fish on the insole. The grey/black-yellow colorway feature tribal designs on the heel along with an angel wing silhouette and rose, which are some of the more popular tattoo style. Would you rather have your kicks tattooed or your skin? For 2009 it looks like kicks. Via AdiNEWS. |
