Classic Meets Chaos: Brain Dead’s Stan Smith Remix

adidas Originals has teamed up with the boundary-pushing brand Brain Dead to breathe new life into the legendary Stan Smith sneaker. Known for its inventive and unconventional designs, Brain Dead has become a hub for creative expression, drawing inspiration from diverse subcultures. Their latest collaboration with adidas is no different. Brain Dead offers a fresh take on the classic silhouette while staying true to its roots.

Reimagining the Stan Smith Legacy

The Stan Smith, originally designed as a tennis shoe, has long transcended its athletic origins. Nowadays, it is a staple in fashion, recognized for its sleek design and minimalist appeal. Brain Dead’s version shakes things up with subtle yet striking updates. Featuring chunky, contrasted laces as well as furry back padding, this release blends Brain Dead’s disruptive style with the timeless essence of the Stan Smith. Available in four bold colorways—Cream, Dark Green, Light Blue, and Pink—this collaboration honors the past while embracing the future.

A Campaign as Quirky as the Design

In true Brain Dead fashion, the launch comes with a surreal campaign. Created by artist Ryan Decker, the visuals depict a bizarre tennis match, complete with flying rackets and eerie objects. As a result, it echoes Brain Dead’s signature absurdist style. The campaign adds a playful, imaginative layer to the shoe’s release, highlighting the brand’s commitment to creativity.

The Brain Dead x adidas Originals Stan Smith sneakers will be available in limited quantities starting September 7th through adidas CONFIRMED and select retailers. Fans can sign up for the drop starting August 29th—don’t miss this unique twist on a streetwear icon.
