Plenty try to imitate what Adidas has done with the iconic Stan Smith silhouette, but few have succeeded. And when you give a lauded, near-legendary modern designer like Raf Simons the opportunity to put his own spin on a certified classic, the result is a sharp sneaker that’s an instant classic in its own right.
The Adidas Originals x Raf Simons Stan Smith amplifies everything great about the classic in a way that’s accessible and not stuffy — in all, the results are stylish enough to be your next investment-level sneaker purchase. Featuring a unique perforated “R” logo playing off the designer’s name, the sneakers have a bit of a dressier touch thanks to the tonal cotton laces and sleek silhouette.
At their current price point, you’re definitely going to want to wear them as many ways as you can, from pairing them with a navy blazer and khaki chinos to rocking them with chino shorts and a garment-dyed polo. – $400
