The Stan Smith is well-loved by consumers, with a simplistic construction that's recognizable, versatile and comfortable -- looking to bring a new edge to it however, adidas Originals infused its silhouette with some fresh components for a pair of modern Velcro sneakers.
Swapping out the usual white upper, adidas Originals makes use of light pink and charcoal, which are made out of soft premium leather. The German giant's branding is displayed very minimally on the Velcro sneakers -- with perforations down the side rather than solid stripes. On the heel of both, the colorway changes from its mostly monochrome look -- adopting complementary tones of brown to offer more attention to adidas' logo which appears over top of it.
