adidas' Blue Version Stan Smith Capsule Is For a New Generation

The rise of the anti-trend era is near. Enter: the celebration of personal style. As fashion cycles are moving almost as fast as the 15-second TikToks that attempt to define and name them, Gen Z is looking for an alternative way to express themselves. In turn, adidas Originals is embracing the fresh change of pace by reinventing some of its archival classics for the new modern age.

Styling the latest iteration of its court-style Stan Smith silhouette with its pinnacle clothing range, Blue Version, the Trefoil manages to reimagine 70s style for a new age. Shining a light on the 3-Stripes iconic ‘Bluebird’ hue, the clothing arrives in the form of sequinned tops and bodysuits, as well as a shimmering biker jacket and short combo - standout styles for those who want to do exactly that.

In terms of the footwear offering, adidas turns its attention to two iterations of the usually minimalist Stan Smith: the Stan Smith Millencon, which is sculpted with exaggerated proportions and a curved midsole, and the Stan Smith Relasted - which although toned down in comparison still features a platformed sole for a bold take on the shoe.

Look for the capsule to launch on the 13th of January, both online and in adidas stores globally. Until then, be sure to hit the release reminders to get notified ahead of the drop, and check out the adidas Gazelle Bold.
