Jemuel Wong Talks Tattoos, Trefoils, and his Ozweego Journey
With sneakerheads, you only need to look at their ankles to see where their heart lies. With Jemuel Wong, you don’t even need to look at the shoes. The Three Stripe devotee is notorious on IG for on-foot shots bearing his Trefoil tattoo. He got the ink done when he made the decision to subscribe wholly to the teachings of adidas, and has been preaching the good word ever since.
His journey has led him to a number of oddities and throwbacks, hype and colabs. One shoe that’s a Venn diagram of all four is the adidas . Wong’s love for the model spans every update and sidestep, so we tapped his mind for his thoughts on 2019’s iteration.
Read on to find out how his and the Ozweego’s stories entwined.
There are always pairs on my to-cop list, mostly vintage adidas runners from the late-90s and early-2000s, but I am currently looking for the Raf Ozweego in the extremely rare cardinal and fairway combination. I’m also looking forward to the release of the Ozweego in the cream and red scheme that leaked earlier this year at Paris Fashion Week.
I’m down with the new 2019 Ozweego as well. My favourite out of all the colourways is the crazy orange pair, though the black pair with the green piping is also super fresh.
