Adidas Stan Smith

I just bought a new shoe after having my adidas sneakers for almost four years. ..Yes, it does last that long. I bought the Adidas Stan Smith original.

I decided to google who Stan Smith is and why would Adidas name a shoe after him. He must really be some bigshot living it large.

I found this from where else but wikipedia.

Stan Smith was an American tennis star of the 1960's and 70's. Adidas approached him to endorse of the Haillet shoe in 1971.

The shoe, usually made with a leather upper, has a simple design and unlike most of the adidas range has no external stripes. Instead there are three rows of perforations in the same pattern (I love the look of them ^^)

I guess that is all for now because now that I know who Stan Smith is I could get on with my life.
