The Stan Smith has been around for over 30 years. But it wasn't until recently that it became one of the most sought after shoes in the world of fashion and sneakers, being worn by some of the worlds most influential people including Kanye West. With it's timeless silhouette and classic colorway, it's no wonder that these sneakers are a go to for any well dressed person out there.
