If you've seen a few of the Stan Smith kicks due to be released this year, then it's time to meet the rest of the family by checking out the adidas Originals x Stan Smith FW 2011 collection.
The adidas Originals x Stan Smith FW 2011 collection celebrates the brand's 40th Anniversary with some of the most stylish kicks I've seen. All of them are low-tops with single-tone uppers and the three trademark stripes being perforated on the side. Each of the shoes are made from a variety of materials, which includes suede, wool and leather. Overall, the shoes have a great crisp, clean design that's stylish on its own with out the theatrics of bright colors and crazy graphics.
