We continue introducing the new models<\/strong><\/a> arriving at foot District<\/a>, and today it’s the turn of a really special sneaker: the adidas Stan Smith<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

With its plain and minimalis<\/strong>t design it could be one of adidas’ most easy to recognize sneakers, but its story will probable surprise you.<\/p>\n

Firstly, we would like to clarify that this legendary sneaker, first released in 1964<\/strong>, wasn’t originally designed for Stan Smith, but for a french tennis player called Robert Haillet<\/strong>. In fact, the first editions had his name on the tongue, ad these are the most wanted by collectors.<\/p>\n

Not until Haillet’s retirement did adidas propose that Stan Smith<\/strong> should endorse the sneaker, which resulted on one of the greatest hits by the german brand. This collaboration with such a charismatic tennis player helped them open their market on the USA<\/strong>, and in 1978<\/strong> the “Robert Haillet” was officially renamed as the “adidas<\/a> Stan Smith<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

But it isn’t just the partnership with the american tennis player which makes this sneaker special: adidas was the first to introduce leather<\/strong> as the only material on a tennis sneaker<\/strong>, which to that date had been made mainly of canvas. In addition, another detail sets them apart from other adidas sneakers: instead of the usual colored three stripes, it features three punctured lines<\/strong> on its upper.<\/p>\n

In any case, the adidas Stan Smith<\/strong> could be summarized with the saying “less is more<\/strong>“. Their plain and straightforward design turned then into a success that adidas has surely put to good use, with countless reissues, special collaborations, colourways\u2026<\/p>\n

The long-awaited 2014 reissue<\/strong> maintains all these elements, including the legendary slogan “Endorsed by Stan Smith<\/strong>” on the tongue. The colour touches on the heel and the branding come in dark blue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
