Kermit The Frog And Other Disney Icons Help Usher In The Next Chapter Of “Stan Smith, Forever”

Not long ago, adidas introduced the “Stan Smith, Forever,” an initiative that uses the court classic as a vehicle for sustainability. And as part of its journey to reduce plastic waste, the collection will soon spawn a number of collaborative creations with Kermit the Frog and Disney’s host of lovable characters.

Unsurprisingly, Kermit acts as the anchor for this newest chapter. In sheer quantity, the Muppet beats out the rest, proposing both simple and graphic-heavy Stan Smith colorways. His name is used throughout in a variety of ways, replacing the profile’s text, the tongue’s portrait-inspired branding, and even the signature, three-pronged perforations. What’s more, it seems each heel touts “being green,” a nod to both the icon himself as well as each pair’s recycled nature.

Alongside, the most prolific Disney/Pixar series inject their own DNA into the capsule. Toy Story turns the model’s uppers into Rex and adds “Stan” to the heel in hand-done style. Monsters Inc. lets Mike Wazowski take charge, his comedy act portrayed by way of multiple playful graphics. The Minions get to work constructing their own creation, while Groot and Tinker Bell simply feature atop theirs. Hulk also smashes his way in via a blacked out pair, one that adorns with “HULK SMASH” right along its side.

For a full look at the collection, see below. A release will hit adidas.com first on March 29th, with select retailers launching afterwards on April 1st.
