If you’re anything like we are, you have a few different pairs of adidas’ legendary Stan Smith sneakers kicking around the rotation. While we’ll be the first to agree that the classic iteration of the sneaker in almost all white with a colored heel accent is certainly a crowd pleaser, plenty of the best takes on the Stan Smith sneaker step outside of that comfort zone. Case in point, the adidas Stan Smith WP shoes you see here. This core black on core black on carbon iteration, secured to a proper rubber gum sole, is the perfect example of what’s possible with a classic silhouette if the designers are wiling to step outside their comfort zone. Add to that some gold, almost nut-like detailing in the lace holes, along with the waterproof construction (that’s what the WP stands for) and you have a recipe for an all day, everyday sneaker that you can wear through just about anything. Even better, it’s currently on sale for half off–$50 from its usual MSRP of $100–so you have no reason not to cop a pair.
