Tennis player Stan Smith joined adidas in 1973, and the adidas Stan Smith became his official sneaker in 1978. Similar to the adidas Rod Laver, the Stan Smith was revered for its minimalism and low-profile design. adidas' Three Stripes appeared on this shoe in creative fashion, as the brand three columns with three perforated holes along the upper. It remains a minimalist sneaker, but also appeared as a mid-cut for a collaboration with streetwear brand 10.Deep.
