Addidas Originals JS Wings Clear
It took sneakerheads a while to come around on Jeremy Scott’s work, but ever since the eccentric designer’s kicks caught on, his three stripes sneakers have flown off store shelves.

Additionally, a milky sole sits underneath. You can scoop up this unique sneaker now at Proper, but remember one thing: always wear clean socks. Always.

Black History Month Bingo
February is Black History Month, which means it's officially time for our divided nation to unite and honor African Americans and the many contributions they've made to this country 28 days of race-related fuckery as companies pander, well-intentioned whites fumble with political correctness, and decidedly un-conscious black rappers get on a soap box to remind everyone that...they would really like some dome. Sigh. We can't just flip a switch and make the world less ignorant, but at least we can laugh at its stupidity. That's why Complex brings you Black History Month Bingo, where the matrices on your game card are filled in with the kind of inanity you can expect this month. Mark them off as they happen for a fun—if simultaneously depressing—time. Five in a row and we all lose!
