adidas' Most Minimalist Sneaker as a Lowkey Stylish Ballet Flat
The adidas Stan Smith, one of the brand's most iconic sneaker models, has become a suitably stylish ballet flat.
Yes, the Stan Smith has joined the ballerina chat, unlocked by way of a new shoe called the adidas Stan Smith Lo Pro Ballet.
adidas' Stan Smith Lo Pro Ballet shoe is essentially a more minimalist version of the super-thin-soled Stan Smiths but made extremely ballet-worthy.
The new sneaker features the same incredibly flat soles, bringing you closer to the ground than possibly ever before, and also comes wrapped in crisp Stan Smith white leather and a Mary Jane-ish strap. It's not so much Stan Smith as ballet flat gone Stan.
The adidas Stan Smith Ballet also features Three Stripes holes on the side, preserving the Stan Smith-ness of the shoe with one of the model's most classic details.
So far, the adidas Stan Smith Ballet shoe has appeared online in red/white and black colorways.
The black scheme is almost like something The Row would design if the luxury label teamed up with adidas for a sporty ballet flat.
The good thing is the Stan Smith Lo Pro Ballet won't be lonely.
Ballet hybrids have taken over the market, including efforts from adidas, such as the Samba Jane and Taekwondo Mei Ballet.
Bad Bunny even designed a good-looking "Ballerina" shoe with the sportswear label.
Expect adidas' wild new Stan Smith Lo Pro Ballet sneaker to hit adidas' website in the coming weeks as we get closer to summer — what used to be Stan season is now ballet weather.
