The History of the Adidas Stan Smith goes back to the late 60s’ but yet continues to be one of Adidas’ best selling sneakers of all time. How did this happen? In this video we take a deeper dive into the amazing history of the Adidas Stan Smith.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I am embarrassed to admit but I do not own a pair of Stan Smith. I have 2 pairs of Rod Lavers (both mesh version and leather) but yeah.... 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!
