Adidas Stan Smith

—01. Green.

Words

While Adidas continue to struggle putting the right foot forward, they have recognized a few good steps from their past recently, namely the Stan Smith. With a controlled release last year, followed by an exclusive Consortium pack, the general release version comes in three colours this spring: red, navy and, of course, the classic green. It's a great, simple sneaker and nobody would deny it. While I'm very tempted to pick up a pair myself, I still have a hard time committing to a brand I feel has somewhat lost its way within the modern market.

Words

The New York branch of Dover Street Market opened its doors at the end of last year, and photographer Ari Marcopoulos was invited to explore and capture the space. The resulting images offer perhaps the broadest and most detailed look of the store seen online so far, and are accompanied by a brief and strange Q&A with the photographer himself.
