Much hype has been made about the return of the Adidas Stan Smith sneaker among the fashion crowd, but, do you care? When the frenzy is about a specific style of a specific brand, that item has reached “IT” status and that’s a turn off for me. Is wearing the Stan Smith crossing the line to fashion victim? I get it for the sneaker aficionados out there and the devout followers of the iconic shoe, but for the rest? I have to wonder, would they be on the radar for women if Phoebe Philo hadn’t worn them at the end of her Celine show during Paris Fashion Week?
This, of course, got everyone’s attention as anything Philo wears does. The Stan Smith’s then made their appearance in several editorials including Gisele in French Vogue…
and Olivia Palermo in French Elle…
Personally, I love the clean, classic-retro look of them…but mostly on men. They look super sharp in the Adidas Stan Smith campaign with DJ’s Terranova and Lucio.
The Adidas Stan Smith will be released January 15.

Not sure about white sneakers on men or women unless they’re playing sport…Philo would look amazing in a black bin bag – sigh
