Came across theses the other day and couldn't resist! If like me you grew up in the 90's , you'll remember Puma releasing the Puma discs in 1994. The laces were replaced with a disc and wires & you simply turned the disc to tighten your sneaker. MAGIC!!! Well it seemed it at the time & they quickly became the trainer to have at school that year. I wasn't one of the fortunate people who owned a pair back then (massive sad face).  However  my brother did so that was almost as good hahaha. Well over 20 years later I own a pair!!! Puma have a ongoing collaboration with Sophia Chang and shes created these wedged  version of the discs. A new spin on a old classic and I've been transported back in time and I'm pleased as punch lol, If you haven't heard of Sophia Chang you should check her out. Designer/Illustrator shes worked with the likes of Nike, NBA, Marc Jacobs, Nixon and Hapers Bazaar to name but a few! Click to see ...

Hi everyone thought I would share a snippet of my ever growing sneaker collection. Paying respect to the late Run DMC with Adidas shell toe trainers with hidden platform & Run DMC Adidas leggings.  All available at www.adidas.co.uk Pink & turquoise Adidas Originals Dragons! Available at JD sports stores & a bargain at only £35.00. So much of a bargain I bought a pair in royal blue.   Farm x Adidas Gazelle.  I adore this collaboration, great spin on a old classic making them girly.  I team mine with pretty dresses & frilly socks for a cute summer look!   Today I've been out snapping some pics for a street style section to share with you.  I've found a super cool couple who are happy for me to show you there pictures & to give you a insight into where they shop etc.. So stay tuned.
This has got to be my new favorite outfit! Cant get enough of it. Giraffe print blue jump suit by Adidas, teamed with a crisp white Nike Air Force 1s. Perfect combo & super comfy.
Picked up these bad boys to add to the sneaker collection.  I have been a long standing Jeremy Scott  so fan so am pretty stoked to get my hand on my first pair of trainers by Adidas X Jeremy Scott. Check out the link to see what Jeremy Scott has to offer at Adidas. www.adidas.co.uk

Screen printing

 Been having a dabble with screen printing this week. And I must say I am enjoying every minute of it.  It is fast becoming my favored textiles medium. Hey Shorty logos in process!! My Hey Shorty repeat pattern. Screen burnt & ready to create. My very own custom Hey Shorty fabric ready to be used on my shirt designs!  Cant wait to see this bad boy finished.
 Hey Guys & Girls my name's Jojo & currently studying towards my degree in fashion & textiles with Hull University. I am a self confessed Adidas addict!! Lovin all things Adidas Originals. "you can never have to many pairs of trainers" Even secured myself some work experience at Adidas head office. Eek exciting times ahead. I am passionate about fashion & draw my inspiration from various sources such as graffiti/street art,  tattoos, 80s/90s sportswear & even the modified car scene especially Hot rods/low riders! You can find me at many a car show. I have created a brand Hey Shorty which will create & supply unique urban style clothing for women.  As lets be fair the market is seriously limited in this area, resulting in us ladies having to customize menswear! So watch this space girls. Anything else just ask. Business Email - jolenedodd@sky.com Instagram - jojo_dodd
