The reason it doesn’t have the stripes is because tennis rules at the time didn’t allow stripes on shoes so adidas put perforated holes instead
Txony 6 I wish I would have added that in. Thanks for the info 💪
@@NachoAverageFinds that because you not tennis guy.. but it just outdated now to play tennis on it... some school do allow black one as school uniform...
@@densuj670 same as old NBA....
why?
Thats cool
The history of the Chuck Taylor's is needed. Such an iconic shoe.
fernando reyes It will happen, thanks for your patience mang
Taylor Lemoine Ok
@Taylor Lemoine Yeah I agree. I'm not like super crazy about either though.
@Taylor Lemoine Chucks are the most timeless shoes ever
@@fernandoreyes680 which color do you prefer. Black, white. Off white (cream), or red?
Please now a history of the adidas superstars
Nigel Koger Of course! Most definitely going to be doing one in the future. Thanks for watching Nigel 🙏

I grew up seeing my dad rocking on those plain white sneakers with green label that says "Stan Smith" on sundays. I never really paid attention to the brand. That was back when I was not yet aware of this sneaker thing and before my dad died. Years later, I saw the same white and green sneakers that my dad used to wear and that made me want have one. I will always identify this shoes with my dad.
Your Dad was one of the coolest people out there. I keep collecting the classic sneakers(definitely have a stan), I am 37 now. I hope one day my daughter will remember me like the way you do your Dad.
I wore these for a large portion of my final high school year, cleaned them for graduation and wore them with a navy suit that day. Got dozens of compliments on the look.
Watching this video after buying my pair of Stan Smiths. Makes me appreciate them even more.
Yes sirrr me too
Same here. I just bought them.
I skated my pair of Stans for 3 years until the sole literally broke in half. They were damn good and probably one of the best investments I've ever made right behind my Air Force 1 Utilities.
Truly a classic shoe and, fortunately, named after quite a good guy, too.
The Shoe that started it all for me, and quite frankly, the one that may have ended it too. After going everywhere and doing everything with my Stan Smiths, I hardly need look for any other shoe (And I've tried all sorts, from Jordans to NMDs, AF1s Janoskis, Ishod Wairs and what not). The Stan Smiths are all I need.
“Can’t think of my verse, it must be misplaced
It’s on the tip of my tongue like Stan Smith’s face”
Who’s line is that!? 🔥🔥
@@NachoAverageFinds 2pac
Pawse
You should do gazelles next
Bob Ross adding it to the list! Thanks 🎨
Love the gazelles..have like 6 different models of it haha
The shoe of the football hooligan 😂
@@millwalljoey8350 indeed ahah
Or just the Originals line in general, or is it already done? The Adidas Spezial and football casual culture though not a big thing in the US is huge in Europe and would give your American audience something different to watch.
I was a little more partial to the Rod Laver's, but wore out my fair share of Stan Smith's as well playing junior tennis throughout the 80's. A great shoe that has really stood the test of time in all of its simplicity.. thanks for showcasing.
Corey Shores Thanks for sharing that Corey, appreciate you watching man!
I had the Rod Laver’s too!
You guys are boosting up the sneaker culture and growing our community keep working hard all the best 😇
And yes sir please the history of NMDs
I picked up 2 pairs of these at the adidas employee store in portland for $35/each. Great price and great product!
JindSing Amazing summer kicks 🔥
yeah... must be a few year old.... the glue won't last long;....
Just got a pair and they're awesome. Sleek look and you can pretty much wear em with anything. Great vid
Rewatching during quarantine 👍 ever considered doing a history of the adidas samba? Not as hyped as superstars and stan smiths but still pretty popular & created in 1950 for indoor soccer.
I'm on my like 40th pair. I'm 55 and I've been wearing them since high school. I will never not have a pair in my closet!
bigguy43055 That’s awesome. You don’t find the quality has changed over time? I bought my first pair around 2010 and it’s by far my most comfortable and longest lasting Stan Smith.
What I loved about adidas was the gold model imprint on the side of the shoes. Wish they would bring that back.
You guys make the best videos. Not over the top, no yelling. Just straight facts. Keep going!
One of my favorite shoes of all time. I always keep a pair of Smith's on ice.
The Stan Smith is my favourite shoe of all time, I’ll always have a pair on feet even at 90 years old!
Wanted to get a pair of these for a while, not so ubiquitous in the UK but you do see them.
VS also had same design and cheaper...
05:50. Blue ones. Bought in 2015, still rocking those
Kev, you're a mad dude. Respect brother.
In a world full of temporary fashion trends, the Adidas Stan Smith is a timeless staple you can count on that will never go out of style.
Stan Smith is my dream shoes eversince I was in college. Got my first ever (my first pricey i bought myself) in 2018. Now im waiting for 2 stans smiths 😅 (1 OG prime knit and 1 Stan Smith X Pharrell Williams)... This was pretty informative. Cant wait even more to receive my new Stan Smiths
I own a pair of Stan Smith pink and i love it ! Such an iconic shoe !!!
Once again I love these vids copped a pair using the link love Stan smiths
ZT SPORTS thank you so much !! Glad you enjoyed the video 😎
I bought a pair in 2005 for summer shoes. The green trim color wasn't my favorite but they were comfortable
Jerry Dellefemine Haha I was rocking them in 05 too!
watching this while wearing a pair of stan smiths
Clueless Dumbass the best way to do it 😎
Bought my first pair a few weeks ago and will be wearing them for the first time on the beautiful Balearic Island of Majorca ( white with the red heel ) Great video guys.
A must have to any sneaker collection...simple yet stylish, similar to Uptowns(Air Force 1's to you non New Yorkers)...they go with everything and anything...sweats pants,track pants,jeans,khakis...comfy & casual...a classic that will never go out of style...I own these and the Rod Lavers too
When are you uploading another sneaker find video?
Episode is already filmed. 😎 Most likely next week!
I’m settling into my old man phase of life where I just keep buying Stan Smiths to replace my worn out ones. 😊
Welcome 😂
Going to buy my first pair of sneaker tomorrow: Stan Smith! It costs 110 Canadian dollars here (84 USD) in Canada
Michael Z try using the links it really helps out the channel 😎
Removing the shoe might have been the greatest move in business history imo, it's genius!
I love what your doing.. as a designer you give a quick yet complete synopsis of the story and cultural/technical relevance.. 🤙🏽👍🏽
Dope vid fellas! I assume its ya bro with the voice over?? Some of the Stan Smith primeknit colorways are instant classics but some look weird AF.
Classic kick either way! Make me want to cop the black & white OG’s I scooped in Qatar.
try_me_kiesh Yes it’s my bro. He also edits the videos! Thanks for watching. Some of the primeknits are hard to pull off!
Very well made video
Ender Music thanks appreciate you taking the time to watch it 😎
I enjoy these type of history lessons.
Wow quality production on this 👌
Robert Isaac Thanks so much for watching Robert! Have a great day bro 🙏
Great stuff. This videos are so cool.
We need the story of the Adidas Campus sneaker. The Beastie Boys and Nu Metal fans ask for it
Being called the most versatile shoe is no idle boast.
alex thelizardking Haha it goes with every outfit
I've been wearing Stan Smiths since I was a kid.
lol yo i legit had the same thought ...."damn...i wana bust out my stan smiths again soon"
Doctor Soles11 ith what ith mang! Yo you should man, these are perfect sneakers for a GI doctor haha
Thank you for the history lesson !
I turned on Notifications and had sub and liked my man, also we still rocking them adidas
Josejr Servin I’m grateful! Thanks so much bro, appreciate you! And hell yeah we rock Adidas over here too 🔥 #threestripelife
NachoAverageFinds thanks my man and right still rocking three strips🔥✊🙏
Had a few pairs - quality trainers. 👍
Jon Clark can’t go wrong with a pair
Did you know that the reason the stan smiths had the perforations on the side was because stripes were not allowed on the court
Rap Beef I did not know that! I wish I could have fit that in there somehow
@@NachoAverageFinds found out from my man Seth Fowler
Rap Beef Love Seth Fowler!!
@@NachoAverageFinds which good sneaker head doesn't . Also I have a video idea: do a video on every air max, every air Jordan, etc. I'd love to hear your thoughts about each one since I loved the video you did on the 97's
the history of converse all star? or keds
Ashsaloft On the to do list 😎
The classic retro sneakers and sports shoes are still the best and timeless
I’m bought 3 man 😎 the original white/green but with a Gum outsole, a black Recon with a gum outsole & a Collegiate green with cream white outsole. Gotta stock up for Rainy days and will wear them only in NYC when it hopefully gets classier & Fashionable like it was in the 90’s, SF, Tokyo & London. I am also lucky to have 2 brand new pairs of Nike Toreslaw (a fabulous super unique model from 1998) that I bought then😎 I also got 3 Armani Attitude colognes, 4 Gucci Envy & 4 Lanvin avant Garde. 👏👏
In 1980 Stan Smiths were holy grail to Northern English working class youths who were serious about looking smart, and their status among who they rolled with. Also adidas ATP, adidas Samba, adidas Kicks, adidas Jeans. Other grails were leisure shoes from Pod, KIOS, and Kickers (French Jean boots). FILA, and Sergio Tacchini tennis jackets were also highly sought after. Fred Perry and Lacoste tennis shirts and Slazenger sweaters were staples. I never thought Stan Smiths would still be making waves among the youth 40 years on, they’re simplicity and timelessness is legendary!
Been using them for 4 years now! Still going strong....
This video is so well researched.
Can someone please tell me what is the difference between adidas stan smith and adidas stan smith j. I ordered stan smith in size 6.5 and I got stan smith j. Are they the same? What do I do ? Please help me
0:37 Hahaha that guy's reaction was great.
Thx to this very video I’ve bought two pairs of this shoe so far gonna get another just for work wear !
love this channel
Dope video guys. Keep them coming!!!
Adriel Perez Thanks Adriel! Appreciate you watching G 🙏
Dang man I'm late on it! That was a really good one bro. Now I might to get a pair!
Ryan Taylor Thanks for peeping it Ryan!! You should dude lol they literally look good with any outfit. I think
My second adidas was Stan's special edition with lime, not green, color that shines super bright in neon. At 2005 i heard nothing about this models, it was only one 'last' size on the shelve (i even think it had been stolen from some store). 15 years past and i still got them on my sneakers shelve for special models and even wearing on rare occasion. Best looking adidas model and what's cool - i've never seen that exact models anywhere or on anyone.
they don't remade shoe in certain colorway... production and shit..you know...
Yall deserve way more than 23k subs
Rayfin GD haha Thanks bro. Humbled by that comment 🙏🙏
Back with a banger today
Jeremiah Bisnar Thanks man! Appreciate it
Just got me some thanks for the history of the shoe I'll appreciate them more
Nice one
Owen Torres Thanks Owen! Appreciate it dude
The simplicity and green & white color scheme were classy

What is it Stan Smith said "some people think I am a shoe" ✌🏼🇬🇧
This channel got me lookin fresh thx homie
love when you do these kind of videos
Al Hababsi Thanks bro, highly appreciated 💪
Those green and white Stan Smiths are Pimpalicious..

Dope vid as always 🔥
Know It 2 Flip It Thanks foo 💪
Surely a chuck Taylor video in the works no?
Jay Mazyopa Of course!! Thanks for watching Jay 👍
Glad I found these guys! Subbed straight away!
This is real Adidas sneakers. Not that silly yeezy stuff.
Foreign Foamer Very true lol
Who gave us a reason to keep talkin about addias ? Oh yeah lol 😂 dont let that hate sit in yo heart too long
Yeezy kept Adidas relevant . Lmao get that hate out your heart .
Yeezys are ok too but I agree that some of them are horrible, failed experiments...but yeah vintage sneakers are the best
Straight facts
Interesting video! Can you do a vid about the nike tailwind 79
ECTorres I’ll add it to the long list of shoes we are going to do. Thanks for watching man!
I am embarrassed to admit but I do not own a pair of Stan Smith. I have 2 pairs of Rod Lavers (both mesh version and leather) but yeah.... I really like the Stan Smiths with velcro but I just never got around to picking them up. Great history and information on this shoe fam. I had no idea this silhouette started from shoes worn by Robert Haillett. I feel like many companies do this - creating artificial demands by pulling the products off the market. Very smart I would say cuz it works. Another dope documentary video!
Five Minute Sneaker TV appreciate you taking the time to consume it man. The rod lavers are also super dope! Should definitely get you pair of the Stan Smith with the ultra boost. You won’t regret it!
Love your vids!
Crazy such a simple shoe design it beloved and wanted by millions even 40 plus years later I jus got me a pair of adidas triple blk japan boost ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
one of my all time favorite skate shoes
I have a pair of PONY tennis shoes that completely mimics the design and colorway of the Stan Smiths. Found 'em for $12 at Citi Trends.
Gunther 8544 hahaha yooo Citi Trends the spot. I worked there for a few months 😂
Can you make a vid about Andre Agassi(Challenge Court&Air Tech Challenge)
VaradNoia Yeah I will eventually
Another dope video, keep it up
frūtloops Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch it!

You guys should make a video on Off-White. That would be really cool. I'd enjoy it much. Keep doing what ya do.
Favorite shoe of all time
LMAO I DIED AT THE TYRONE EDIT 😂😂😂
B Spen hahah Glad you liked it
Excellent video. Now do a video on Rod Laver's shoes please 😎
3:22 The original version has a one piece tongue with no stitching. The new version is arguably more comfortable with an edged sewn mesh backing making it thicker than the original.
Such a beautiful shoe.
Legacy 🙇♂️
Great video!
