The Adidas Shoes "Stan Smith" Worn by Everyone.

This familiar face logo represents the Stan Smith, with its simple design!

In fact, this illustration is of a real person named "Stan Smith". He is a 72-year-old former famous American tennis player.

During his active years, he was a national hero with a total of 100 victories. (Kind of like Kei Nishikori, right?)

The story goes that Stan Smith's Adidas sneakers, which he wore during matches, garnered attention, leading Adidas to name the shoes "Stan Smith" for sale.

They have been on sale since the 1960s, and as the designs have slightly varied over time, vintage models are often treated as treasures.

It's Too Much Fun to Make It Your Own Face!

The iconic Stan Smith face photo is well-known...

While browsing Instagram, I found someone who has changed that face photo to...

...her husband's face!

Take a close look><

He’s wearing glasses and smiling; it’s not the usual old man face of Stan Smith....!!!!!

It looks like there is fabric with a drawing of her husband over the Stan Smith face on the baby shoes for kids, and the idea is just amazing....!!!

When they were renewed in 2014, there was a Twitter campaign where people could turn their own face photos into a Stan Smith style, but if you made an image like this and simply glued or sewed it on...

The complete Stan Smith with your own face sounds incredible, doesn’t it?

I was really surprised!

By the way, last year, a collaboration with designer Stella McCartney brought out a version where the face logo was illustrated by Stella McCartney.

(One shoe had Stella's illustration while the other had the Stan Smith face.)

This collaboration was made in line with Stella McCartney's policy of “not using fur, leather, or other animal products” as a vegetarian brand.

These shoes were made from a 100% recycled polyester material called vegan leather, and they became a hot topic for being ethical and sustainable.

I Want to Create My Own Stan Smith!

Isn't it amazing that you can make a Stan Smith with your own face?

Although not officially, it is possible to DIY and replace it with your own face, your child's face, or your husband's face*

Even if you’re not as famous as Stella McCartney, it's definitely fun to create your own "Original Stan Smith" at home♡

(You could even call it Takeru Smith or Souta Smith...!)

I think it’s a fantastic idea, so I genuinely recommend it to anyone who wants to give their husband a funny gift♡
