Here’s a look at an upcoming sample out of adidas that uses the classic Stan Smith Hi model with the use of a snakeskin upper. However, it appears as though this snakeskin upper is unlike those you usually see employed by other sneakers previously released and maintains a more textured surface. Some parts of the upper feature shedding scales similar to how a snake would shed its skin. As well, inconsistently sized scales also give the impression of realism. No word yet on release dates.
