“Experience tells you what to do: confidence allows you to do it. ” Stan Smith
Around ’63 or 64, the first Adidas tennis shoe was produced and Stan Smith allowed Adidas to endorse the sneaker with his name in exchange for a royalty. In 1967, the green padding was added to the back. In ’71 the sneaker was named the adidas stan smith and the rest is history.
I am happy with this “comfortable” craze and admit to wearing mine pretty much every day. There are many designer brands offering similar styles at 3x the price; yes they can be super chic and have an extra detail or two.
I did have a moment of indecision yesterday when I wore my white pair with a mid length dress. Thoughts of Nurse Jackie came to mind but my girls assured me they looked perfect; everyone has a wobble now and then.
I quickly recovered as they are back on my feet; the all white superstars are on the go today.
Thank you Stan Smith, I hope the trend continues because these make life pretty easy day to day. xv
