History of adidas Stan Smith
As a world champion tennis player, Stan Smith made his name on the court by achieving two Grand Slam singles and five Grand Slam doubles. Known for being the definition of calm, cool and collected on the court, it’s only natural that the shoe that bears his name would have a similar aesthetic.
What began as a performance silhouette for the tennis court in the 1970s has turned into a modern sneaker for everyday wear. With refined style and fresh details, adidas Stan Smith shoes have captured the hearts of multiple generations, providing every casual or elegant outfit with the perfect footwear companion.
Finding the perfect Stan Smith shoe for your style is up to you, but when it comes to finding the perfect fit, we’re here to help. Read on to find out more about how the adidas Stan Smith fits.
