The use of snakeskin has dominated the summer season.<\/p>\n
With 2013 being the Year of the Snake, we expected the scaly texture to slither through stores on certain silhouettes, but not at this rate. What’s great is that the snakeskin print has been used in many different ways. Whether incorporated as an all-over print or added as a contrasting hint in a subtle way, snakeskin print has undoubtedly controlled the sunny season.\u00a0As we enter the last few days of August, we take a look back at The 10 Best Uses of Snakeskin on Sneakers this Summer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \n Released<\/strong>: April 12, 2013<\/p>\n adidas compliments the use of snakeskin with simplicity on the classic 70s ADI MC Low. An all-over snakeskin print, in brown and black, graces the base, while smooth, polished leather contrasts nicely in the form of the 3-stripes branding and leather heel stay. This is one of the most straightforward uses of snake on this list.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n \n Released<\/strong>: July 2013<\/p>\n We’ve seen snakeskin used on the timeless adidas Superstar silhouette multiple times but never with this much luminosity. The blue embossed leather evolves into a glow-in-the-dark, reptilian piece of work in the darkness, making it one of the most unprecedented uses of snakeskin we’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n \n Released<\/strong>: July 1, 2013<\/p>\n The most adaptable and all-purpose sneaker of them all, the Chuck Taylor has featured many faces over the years. Converse got in on the snakeskin craze by dressing the classic silhouette in a white snakeskin from the tongue to the asymmetrical zipper. An off-white toe cap and vulcanized sole give this shoe a rusty, desert snake-like feel.<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n \n Released<\/strong>: July 27, 2013<\/p>\n The Nike Kobe 8 NSW Lifestyle LE shows us that snakes can be entrancing in more than just black and white. This Sportswear-styled shoe blends\u00a0yellow, red and black snakeskin print on the base with contrasts of black on the laces, inner lining and heel. The more color, the more venomous.<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n \n Released<\/strong>: August 31, 2013<\/p>\n adidas did an awesome job of combining multiple, beloved textures on a performance-based silhouette with this adios 2. The synthetic snakeskin texture dominates the the majority of the upper in vibrant colors, while waterproof mesh and synthetic mesh add functionality to this stylish silhouette.<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n \n Released<\/strong>: August 10, 2013<\/p>\n Sometimes, the use of snakeskin, minimally, is more appealing than drowning a shoe out in the scaly design. The black and grey Dunk, inspired by the “3M Snake” Air Force 1, is a great example of snake done slightly with its premium leather base and hint of snakeskin on the Swoosh. As for the “Cocoa” Dunk, it’s the only blend of white leather and snakeskin on this list. In sort of a reverse scheme to that seen on the “3M Snake” Dunk, this shoe is seemingly outlined in snakeskin.<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n \n Released<\/strong>: July 10, 2013<\/p>\n The Authentic is arguably Vans’ most popular and most versatile silhouette. This year alone, we’ve seen this model covered in an abundance of animal prints, such as zebra and cheetah. This pack is near the top in terms of snake done right this summer. In majestic gold and silver colorways, an all-over snakeskin print dons the upper of both makeups, which also include contrasting black laces.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Released<\/strong>: N\/A<\/p>\n The Air Jordan “Legends of the Summer” Pack has been the talk of the sunny season. While all-red Jordans are always a hit, this trifecta is revered for more than just its monochromatic appeal. Snakeskin is assimilated fundamentally on the toe area and heel of each retro. While snakeskin isn’t the focal point on this pack, its definitely used to great effect.<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n \n Released<\/strong>: August 10, 2013<\/p>\n Is suede, patent leather and snakeskin too much for one shoe? Not at all, as underscored by the BAIT x Reebok Question. The use of snakeskin on this shoe seems to perfectly harmonize with the other grandiose materials on this collaboration. White and black snakeskin is the center-of-attention element on this shoe, as it makes a statement in the mid-foot area, while black patent leather and suede outline the focal point.<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n \n Released<\/strong>: August 31, 2013<\/p>\n All-black snakeskin takes the #1 spot on our Best Uses of Snakeskin this Summer list. Big Sean’s Pro Model II is a combination of vintage feel and luxurious fashion thanks to adidas’ incorporation of Italian leather throughout the upper. The entire base is embossed with black snakeskin, exempting the toe cap and Three Stripes logo on the side panels<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The use of snakeskin has dominated the summer season.<\/p>\n With 2013 being the Year of the Snake, we expected the scaly texture to slither through stores on certain silhouettes but not at this rate.
