The reason it doesn’t have the stripes is because tennis rules at the time didn’t allow stripes on shoes so adidas put perforated holes instead

The history of the Chuck Taylor's is needed. Such an iconic shoe.

Please now a history of the adidas superstars

I wore these for a large portion of my final high school year, cleaned them for graduation and wore them with a navy suit that day. Got dozens of compliments on the look.

I skated my pair of Stans for 3 years until the sole literally broke in half. They were damn good and probably one of the best investments I've ever made right behind my Air Force 1 Utilities.

I grew up seeing my dad rocking on those plain white sneakers with green label that says "Stan Smith" on sundays. I never really paid attention to the brand. That was back when I was not yet aware of this sneaker thing and before my dad died. Years later, I saw the same white and green sneakers that my dad used to wear and that made me want have one. I will always identify this shoes with my dad.

“Can’t think of my verse, it must be misplaced
It’s on the tip of my tongue like Stan Smith’s face”

The Shoe that started it all for me, and quite frankly, the one that may have ended it too. After going everywhere and doing everything with my Stan Smiths, I hardly need look for any other shoe (And I've tried all sorts, from Jordans to NMDs, AF1s Janoskis, Ishod Wairs and what not). The Stan Smiths are all I need.

Truly a classic shoe and, fortunately, named after quite a good guy, too.

I was a little more partial to the Rod Laver's, but wore out my fair share of Stan Smith's as well playing junior tennis throughout the 80's. A great shoe that has really stood the test of time in all of its simplicity.. thanks for showcasing.

Just got a pair and they're awesome. Sleek look and you can pretty much wear em with anything. Great vid

One of my favorite shoes of all time. I always keep a pair of Smith's on ice.

I picked up 2 pairs of these at the adidas employee store in portland for $35/each. Great price and great product!

Rewatching during quarantine 👍 ever considered doing a history of the adidas samba? Not as hyped as superstars and stan smiths but still pretty popular & created in 1950 for indoor soccer.

What I loved about adidas was the gold model imprint on the side of the shoes. Wish they would bring that back.

The Stan Smith is my favourite shoe of all time, I’ll always have a pair on feet even at 90 years old!

I'm on my like 40th pair. I'm 55 and I've been wearing them since high school. I will never not have a pair in my closet!
