Hand-Painted Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Pharrell Williams x Stan Smith Collection is Adorably Lighthearted

— May 28, 2014 — Fashion
The Pharrell Williams x Stan Smith collection for adidas Originals is chock full of sneakers that are perfect for the summer season. Although they may appear to be geared towards a younger demographic, anyone can rock these footwear designs, especially on a hot sunny weekend afternoon. They boast the line's signature cartoonish design, but what makes them extra special is the fact that they have been hand-painted by the 'Happy' singer himself.

Comprised of 10 sneaker designs in total, the Pharrell Williams x Stan Smith collection is set to be released today at colette, a boutique based in Paris, France. Proceeds from the sales of these highly collectible shoes will go towards Pharrell’s charity From One Hand to anOTHER.

2. Non-profit - Non-profits can partner with brands to release co-branded products, raising awareness for their cause and providing a new fundraising opportunity.
3. Celebrity Endorsement - Brands can leverage celebrity partnerships to create exclusive or limited edition product releases, generating hype and maximizing sales.
