Relaunched in 2014 after its name sake American tennis champion’s death, the Adidas Stan Smith is to Gen X what Converse are to Boomers; with an endless supply of designer collaborations and celebrity endorsements for this classic trainer that has become ubiquitous with sneakers.
The Stan is an ideal complement to minimalist outfits, like monochromatic colors and selvedge denim. However, its casual appeal also makes it suitable for more relaxed looks such as hoodies and logo t-shirts – and that’s not just our opinion: Phoebe Philo has long worn one as she was Creative Director at pre-Slimane Celine!
Sports and fashion-wise, this shoe may be best known for its appearance at Wimbledon and the US Open during the ’70s; however, it has also been seen on rappers such as Jay Z and Lil Wayne, rock stars such as Kate Moss, and Hugh Grant.
The latest iteration of this iconic model combines all of its classic details with sustainable elements like recycled Parley materials for construction, so you can feel good wearing your new pair while looking fantastic.
