Iconic Stan Smith Meets Craig Green’s Creative Vision in FW23 Collaboration
The collaboration between adidas Originals and British designer Craig Green continues to push the boundaries of sneaker design with the launch of two striking iterations of the beloved Stan Smith for the Fall/Winter 2023 season. These innovative designs were first introduced during Craig Green’s Spring/Summer 2023 show at Paris Fashion Week, setting the stage for what promises to be a game-changing release in the world of sneakers. Let’s dive into the details of these cutting-edge kicks.
Introducing the CG SPLIT STAN: A Respected Disruption
Craig Green takes a bold and respectful approach to disrupt the iconic adidas Stan Smith silhouette with the CG SPLIT STAN. This unique design slices the familiar form of the Stan Smith in half, incorporating a middle rubber protrusion between the two segments. This daring move pushes the boundaries of leather and rubber sneaker design to new extremes. The CG SPLIT STAN arrives in three sleek monochromatic colorways: classic white, timeless black, and earthy khaki. It’s a tribute to the classic while embracing the avant-garde.

The CG BOOST STAN: Rethinking Footwear Tooling
In the CG BOOST STAN, Craig Green bridges the gap between adidas’ past, present, and future. This silhouette rethinks the very nature of footwear tooling by featuring a die-cut upper sitting atop a midsole and foxing entirely composed of BOOST material. The design incorporates the iconic Three Stripe perforations, printed Stan Smith logos on the tongue, and the classic Trefoil branding on the heel mustache, paying homage to the original silhouette. The CG BOOST STAN launches in three captivating colorways: pristine white, sleek black, and futuristic silver.

The campaign not only explores the textural quality of the CG BOOST STAN but also oscillates between mirrored surfaces to highlight the dynamic lines of the CG SPLIT STAN. It’s a visual feast for sneaker enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
