For many years, the adidas Stan Smith has built a name as a renowned tennis sneaker inspired by American tennis player, Stan Smith who first endorsed the Hailet shoe in 1971. The latter is an adidas model that is made of leather upper, has simple design with no external stripes but rather it features three rows of perforations on the entire side panel in the same pattern. Part of the shoe’s modification is the change of its name from the original Hailet to the now popular Stan Smith which has sold millions of pairs since its debut.

It is back once again not in any other form but in the same basic tennis shoe image with the outdoor elements on, such as the university blue suede material that wraps the entire upper with a complementing red leather heel tab. The three rows perforation is now seen in tiny red eyelets, and the visible stitching comes in white. Matte silver eyelets are used with matching boot-inspired multi-color laces. Adidas finishes the inside with black liner that opposes the tone of the sole unit which is bone.

It was a mad afternoon when Rafael Nadal, Roland Garros, and the entire rhythm of this grand slam tournament were almost hijacked by John Isner, a 6ft 9in American with size-15 shoes, a gargantuan serve, and a reputation for being something of a clay-court pygmy. Though Isner played five clay-court events before this one, he won a total of just three matches, and has never gone beyond the third round on these courts.

It was to Nadal’s great relief that he broke early in the fourth set. He also broke early in the fifth set, but it was not until he had converted his match point that his coach and uncle, Toni, could shed the tension from his face. Thanks to Nike Air Max Courtballistec 3.3, his official tennis shoe that features some of the most durable, supportive, and cushioned materials around. This shoe boasts a springy Lunarlon cushioning, Max Air unit in the heel, synthetic leather upper with DragOn, and innovative off-center lacing system.

In Nadal’s previous match with Isner, he was spotted wearing photo blue/gridiron colorway that perfectly matches his shirt, head band, and wrist bands. A pair of this Nike Air Max Courtballistec 3.3 in medium grey/black/crimson is now available on eBay.

Did you know the real story of your favorite adidas Stan Smith? If no, here is a brief introduction about the origin of the shoe which was named after an American tennis star, Stan Smith. Smith, a 6’3 tennis marvel from Pasadena, California, won seven Davis Cup victories, 39 singles titles and 61 doubles crowns in his career. In the early 70′s adidas approached him to endorse the Haillet shoe which was usually made with leather upper, with simple design and unlike most of the adidas range has no external stripes. Instead there are three rows of perforations in the same pattern and also a sketched picture of the tennis player on the tongue. During that time, the original Stan Smith green-tab shoe has been in production which is now available in eight models, and it is the biggest-selling tennis shoe ever.

Fast forward to date, the Stan Smith showed up in one interesting colorway that is currently up on eBay. The upper flaunts 100% white leather with graphic designs of various shapes and colors. The eyelets are tonal as well as the midsole but the outsole is red, the inner liner is green, and the tongue border is yellow – all turn to be matching the colorful graphics of the upper.

In a very rare appearance, this adidas Stan Smith colorway is amongst eBay’s hottest shoes that stick out today.
