Adidas Originals Stan Smith II 'Fleece' Ups Comfort Levels for Footwear

— June 30, 2011 — Fashion
Any time I see Adidas and Stan Smith put together, I automatically assume that it's going to be an amazing shoe; the Adidas Originals Stan Smith II 'Fleece' proved that my assumption was right.

Sure, the Adidas Originals Stan Smith II 'Fleece' isn't flashy and doesn't have crazy zebra-striped patterns, but does that really matter? I love the use of fleece because it's different and it makes the sneakers look that much more comfortable. The contrast of the light-gray upper, ocean-blue body and highlights of white eyelets and soles is extremely refreshing to look at. Even though fleece isn't normally material you see on sneakers, it works very well in this case and it somehow makes the footwear look -- well, friendlier.
Trend Themes
1. Comfortable Footwear - The use of fleece material in sneakers provides a comfortable and cozy experience for consumers.
2. Refreshingly Simple Design - The minimalist design of the Adidas Originals Stan Smith II 'Fleece' offers a refreshing alternative to flashy and patterned shoes.
3. Unconventional Materials - The use of fleece material in sneakers showcases the potential for exploring unconventional materials in footwear.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Retail - Fashion retailers can capitalize on the trend of comfortable footwear by incorporating fleece material in their shoe offerings.
2. Athletic Footwear - Athletic footwear manufacturers can explore the use of unconventional materials like fleece to enhance the comfort of their products.
3. Textile Manufacturing - Textile manufacturers can seize the opportunity to develop high-quality fleece materials specifically tailored for the footwear industry.
