adidas brings the Stan Smith shoe to cycling
Sports group adidas has launched yet another version of its perpetually popular Stan Smith shoes. The new shoe, the VeloStan Smith is “reimagined for city cyclists and commuters”, the group says.
It says the shoe retains “the unmistakable silhouette of the original Stan Smith”, while incorporating a two-bolt SPD-cleat system for clipless pedal cycling. The shoe also has a rigid nylon plate embedded into a synthetic sole, which has been adapted to cover the front two-thirds of the sole, providing stiffness for efficiency of movement while cycling, and flexibility and comfort when walking.
