Adidas Stan Smith | The World's Most Versatile Shoe

[@txonio803]

The reason it doesn’t have the stripes is because tennis rules at the time didn’t allow stripes on shoes so adidas put perforated holes instead

[@NachoAverageFinds]

Txony 6 I wish I would have added that in. Thanks for the info 💪

I skated my pair of Stans for 3 years until the sole literally broke in half. They were damn good and probably one of the best investments I've ever made right behind my Air Force 1 Utilities.

I grew up seeing my dad rocking on those plain white sneakers with green label that says "Stan Smith" on sundays. I never really paid attention to the brand. That was back when I was not yet aware of this sneaker thing and before my dad died. Years later, I saw the same white and green sneakers that my dad used to wear and that made me want have one. I will always identify this shoes with my dad.

[@happygoluckybinayak]

Your Dad was one of the coolest people out there. I keep collecting the classic sneakers(definitely have a stan), I am 37 now. I hope one day my daughter will remember me like the way you do your Dad.

The Shoe that started it all for me, and quite frankly, the one that may have ended it too. After going everywhere and doing everything with my Stan Smiths, I hardly need look for any other shoe (And I've tried all sorts, from Jordans to NMDs, AF1s Janoskis, Ishod Wairs and what not). The Stan Smiths are all I need.

[@TheLions1957]

Truly a classic shoe and, fortunately, named after quite a good guy, too.

[@coreyshores4786]

I was a little more partial to the Rod Laver's, but wore out my fair share of Stan Smith's as well playing junior tennis throughout the 80's. A great shoe that has really stood the test of time in all of its simplicity.. thanks for showcasing.

The Stan Smith is my favourite shoe of all time, I’ll always have a pair on feet even at 90 years old!

What I loved about adidas was the gold model imprint on the side of the shoes. Wish they would bring that back.

[@Pulsonar]

In 1980 Stan Smiths were holy grail to Northern English working class youths who were serious about looking smart, and their status among who they rolled with. Also adidas ATP, adidas Samba, adidas Kicks, adidas Jeans. Other grails were leisure shoes from Pod, KIOS, and Kickers (French Jean boots). FILA, and Sergio Tacchini tennis jackets were also highly sought after. Fred Perry and Lacoste tennis shirts and Slazenger sweaters were staples. I never thought Stan Smiths would still be making waves among the youth 40 years on, they’re simplicity and timelessness is legendary!

My second adidas was Stan's special edition with lime, not green, color that shines super bright in neon. At 2005 i heard nothing about this models, it was only one 'last' size on the shelve (i even think it had been stolen from some store). 15 years past and i still got them on my sneakers shelve for special models and even wearing on rare occasion. Best looking adidas model and what's cool - i've never seen that exact models anywhere or on anyone.

I really like the Stan Smiths with velcro but I just never got around to picking them up. Great history and information on this shoe fam. I had no idea this silhouette started from shoes worn by Robert Haillett. I feel like many companies do this - creating artificial demands by pulling the products off the market. Very smart I would say cuz it works. Another dope documentary video!
