Since 1997 the adidas Originals banner has proffered numerous trips through the German brand’s extensive archives, returning with original constructions of their most famed silhouettes. Having been over a decade since the silhouette was retooled, the adidas Stan Smith 80s is returning to its native fabrication featuring premium buttery leathers and 80s style proportions.

Anchored by its iconic “Cloud White/Green” colorway, the uppers rich leather build is streamlined in an effort harken back to the silhouette’s 1978 endorsement from the tennis legend. Flat nylon laces come color-matched with the upper’s clad colorless composition and all-leather sock liner – save its titular green branded heel tab and illustration of Stan Smith adorned on the tongue. Elsewhere, seldom perforations down the midfoot panel express Three Stripes branding while the staple silhouette finishes with a vintage brush underfoot by way of an aged “Sail” sole unit.

Releasing this Friday, November 18th for a retail price of $160, in the meantime enjoy official images of the adidas Stan Smith 80s.
