Well the Adidas Stan Smith, which was first launched in 1971 and made a huge comeback in 2014 is a big hit. Its basically available in white-green, white-red and white-blue, a suede alteration and a woman’s version with faux exotic leather. Besides those basics that have been worn by almost all hip people in the world one Adidas Stan Smith Special edition after the next enters the market. The most recent Adidas Stan Smith x Raf Simons!

Raf Simons has some kind of association with the Adidas Stan Smith sneaker. He wore a pair for his final round at Dior fall 2014 earlier this year. Now an Adidas Stan Smith special edition designed by Raf Simons hit store! photo@http://www.freshnessmag.com

The standout for me definitely is the bright orange version. It proves how deeply Raf Simons is inspired by the 90ies rave scene. Drawing inspiration from the Dior runway the shoe can be worn with some kind of mauve, light blue or khakis.

Another Adidas Stan Smith special edition is the Adidas Stan Smith x Colette version. While in Paris last time I missed the launch event with shoe signing by Stan Smith, which was 2 days after we left for NYC!!!

The Adidas Stan Smith special edition in cooperation with the Parisian concept store Colette is pretty cool! Even better Stan Smith, the famous tennis player was present at the launch event and signed shoes and shoe boxes, photo@http://www.highsnobiety.com

The white and signature blue cobalt dot design is simple and works with everything. Another recent alteration of the shoe is the Adidas Stan Smith Primeknit. Its a knitted version a little similar to Nike Flyknit. The knitted technology seems to make the shoe appearance less bulky thus adjusting especially for small and skinny woman, who sometimes have the problem of being overpowered by a bulky sneaker.
