If there’s any pair of sneakers that we’ll gladly have our feet live in (forever), you can bet that it’s definitely the all-time classic adidas Stan Smith. No surprise there — we worship the sleek silhouette for its versatility — from its first rendition to its latest.
Indeed, there’s nothing quite like a good ol’ pair of tennis shoes inspired by a legendary tennis player; Stan Smith himself owns at least 60 pairs of the sneakers that bear his name. But we’re not here to gush over how our worn-and-battered pair of Stans ultimately remains as a ride-or-die pair (if you’re interested though, see here, here and here) — but rather, we’re here to deliver a quick introduction to Superga’s latest sneaker alert: The Superga Sport Lendl, a tennis sneaker pack trio that is made in collaboration with Ivan Lendl, tennis champion of eight Grand Slam titles.
Not gonna lie, the sneaker does look very much like the Stan Smith, with its white base, coloured heel tab and perforated leather accent. What is different, however, is Superga’s own sneaker detailing that features a “swallow’s tail” logo designed in 1970. The entire sneaker screams classic; all of the OG features of Superga Sport footwear can be found, such as the eco-leather upper, printed rubber sole as well as the logo on the tongue. The heel tab of the sneaker is naturally the highlight, and it comes in three different colours: hemp, blue and red. Ivan Lendl’s signature will be screened on it in gold foil, just for that extra touch of luxury.
All three colourways of the Superga Sport Lendl are available in Superga stores, and they will retail at $139.90 per pair.
