THE BIRTH OF STAN SMITH MEN’S TRAINERS

The men’s adidas Stan Smith has transitioned from a high-tech tennis shoe to an essential casual trainer, and the aesthetics have hardly changed. The kicks were born way back in 1963 when Horst Dassler, the son of adidas’ founder, decided that tennis needed a sturdy, streamlined, performance-focused leather trainer to rival the canvas styles it had known before that. Originally the shoe was named after French tennis star Robert Haillet, and for a long time had his face and signature on the side, but it was rebranded as the Stan Smith in 1978. Stan Smith was the world’s no. 1 seed at the time, and he had been the poster boy for the shoe since Haillet’s retirement in 1971. From 1978 onwards, it was Stan Smith’s face illustrated on the sides along with his signature. The Men’s adidas Stan Smith became huge on the court and then huge on the street. It was the first shoe to really make the jump from sport to street and sales were rocketing – so much so that the Stan Smith was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records in 1988 for numbers of pairs sold. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength, appearing in the bars of rappers like Jay Z, on covers of Vogue magazine, and in the casual ensembles of millions around the world. The design has been adjusted over the years, but the basic style remains the same. Versatile, slick, forever fresh.

The latest men’s adidas Stan Smith shoes stay true to the originals but also stay true to adidas’ environmental commitment, which is impacting the design approach to many other adidas shoes for men. These new Stan Smiths are made with Primegreen, a special mix of high-performance recycled materials. The uppers are 50% recycled and 100% vegan – animal-derived materials are out the window. Even the classic grippy rubber outsole is greener, now made of rubber waste. The quality is the same, the look is the same, it’s just the carbon footprint that isn’t
