adidas Stan Smith Vintage 'Tournament Edition'

Oft-imitated, and one of the bestselling sneakers of all time, the term ‘classic’ is thrown around too often, but in the case of the adidas Stan Smith, it’s entirely appropriate. Clean and versatile, the shoe has been reintroduced in its superior 1977 shape as a 1 to 1 reproduction of this instantly recognizable silhouette as part of adidas’ forthcoming Tournament Pack. Dropping in limited numbers, it’s the perfect antidote to garish retros,with the perforated upper, quality leather, sparing use of forest green and subtle laser etching completing a release that’s well worth a closer look.
