It’s always nice when sneaker collections can affect the greater good. An icon of footwear perhaps even more than as a tennis pro, Stan Smith recently toured Asia as part of adidas’ 60th Anniversary celebration. Whilst in Taiwan, he signed ten pairs of the original white/green colourway of the adidas Originals Stan Smith 80. Sold at the O-Store in Taipei for a hefty premium ($12,140 TWD or ~$350 USD) and encased in a plexiglass box atop a tennis court platform, proceeds from these joints went to benefit the Taiwan Foundation for Rare Disorders (TFRD). Good luck getting your own pair, but check the close-ups after the jump if you’re feelin’ ’em. via adiFans
