Adidas releases first leather tennis shoe
Sports brand Adidas has teamed up with Los Angeles-based Brain Dead for what it describes as “a disruptive take on the iconic Stan Smith sneaker”.

The design is Adidas’s first leather tennis shoe.

The collaboration is described as “an authentic homage that pushes the shoe’s legacy forward, highlighting its glorious days”.
