The adidas Stan Smith is a truly quintessential piece of Trefoil Brand footwear design, a versatile silhouette that’s beloved by suit-wearing finance bros, internet-scouring fashion geeks, and DIY-loving musicians alike. With its broad cultural pull, it can easily take on a myriad of styles, colors, and textures, and the latest pair to arrive offers a detail that’s somewhat reminiscent of the Air Jordan 1 “Defiant.” Where is this mark, you may ask? It’s on the heel, which deviates from the pristine white hue present on the rest of the upper for a blocky patch of “Glow Pink” that covers the debossed Stan Smith badge before creeping a few centimeters down below for a perfectly imperfect look. Further pink hues arrive on the tongue badge, which features ol’ Stanley’s viage to complete the look. These new adidas shoes are a women’s-sized release, and will arrive on adidas.com on September 1st for $100 USD.
