The timeless allure of adidas' Stan Smith is an unarguable testament to its place in the sneaker pantheon. Known for its minimalist approach and tennis origins, recent collaborations have birthed innovative takes on this iconic model. As 2023 gathers pace, Craig Green, who has been instrumental in creating fresh adidas designs, is again fusing his imaginative prowess with the Stan Smith. Alongside his Stan Smith Boost, Green will “split” the silhouette in half.
Craig Green's "Split" iteration of the Stan Smith is anything but ordinary. A signature line distinctly bisects the sneaker down its center, splitting the sole and upper units. Despite this bold alteration, the sneaker doesn't lose its quintessential Stan Smith charm. The premium leather that swathes the upper attests to its luxurious craftsmanship. While the rubber sole remains a mainstay, the Stan Smith branding gracefully perches atop the tongue and heel, reminding wearers of its legacy. The pack contains three distinct colorways: the timeless White Green, a sleek Triple Black, and a subtle Beige Tone.
The Craig Green x adidas Stan Smith Split Pack will release September 14, 2023, through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, enthusiasts should prepare to shell out $240 for a pair.
