In the past 7 years, my struggle to simplify and de-clutter my life has worked out pretty well. Now, instead of buying a pair of sneakers a week, I only buy one every few months (as this habit is hard to break), and I try to buy only simple and classic designs. With that vision in mind, what is more simple and classic than ADIDAS Stan Smith? Clean, timeless and comfortable are all I can ask for these days. These must be a newer version than from my high school days, because I seem to remember a picture of SS on the tongue? Am I right ? These bring back good memories of the 80s for some reason..maybe a simpler life?
