Rising to fame as the OG tennis shoes for the masses, the Stan Smiths have found their way among notable celebrities including Barack Obama, Jennifer Garner and Meghan Markle.

These footwear staples provide top-notch comfort and its classic white colour lends versatility making it one of the widely accepted sneakers of today’s time. Stan Smith’s white and green colourway still enjoys the same popularity as it did almost six decades ago. The padding near the back of the shoe’s ankles gives it that extra touch of cushioning to get you started on your adventurous escapades.
