adidas Stan Smith make a Return!
14
Jan
Unless living in remote or under rock type areas, you should have some inclination that tomorrow is the date in which we welcome back the adidas Stan Smith!
After a two year hiatus, the accredited best best-selling trainer of all time, the Stan Smith, makes an epic return. Uniting streetwear with high-end style, the Stan Smith model is one of the few truly unisex silhouettes out there. There are nuances for the experts, but it’s a shoe for everyone.
There’s nothing nicer than a fresh pair out of the box, but they look incredible worn in too. The ancient cliché of the simple shoe as a canvas rings true in this case – too often the terrace appreciation of adidas and the hip-hop affiliated, NYC-bred love of the 3-Stripes mark can run in completely different lanes, but with the Stan Smith shoe model, they merge, respecting the simplicity and versatility of the shoe.
Some would say the secret to the Stan Smith sneaker is two-fold. The Adi Dassler design philosophy of ‘form following function’ led to a simplistic design combined with functionality.
Combining this with the tennis regulations of the time, lead to a white leather shoe that was pure in function, as well as, design. To this day the simple perforated stripe design not only gives the shoe a clean look, but also necessary breathability.
The relaunch is from the 15th Jan and will be available to buy from www.adidas.co.uk/stan-smith
