adidas Originals introduces a vegan leather Stan Smith sneaker model as the sportswear brand continues to work towards a more sustainable future. The new design also features graffiti accents throughout the upper that is made with inspiration that nods to the brand's archive and motifs true to the model.
Each side of the shoe looks like it is detailed with pen doodles in a dark hue to contrast the white base foundation. The vegan leather makes up the upper and the Trefoil logo. There are also additional branding details that read "Stan" and "Smith" on top of the heel tabs and the logo, but also as forms of graffiti tags at the top of the shoe.
