“It was such an honour to put our own spin on such an iconic shoe in collaboration with our longstanding tailoring partner Manchester United,’ said Paul Smith.
“It’s a trainer that I wear myself and has truly stood the test of time, earning itself a place in the history books. Spending time with the man himself and working closely with the adidas team, our shared passion for the design became clear and I’m confident we have created something that serves as a fitting tribute to the unmistakable classic.”
The drop is limited to just 1,946 pairs, with 1946 being the year both Paul and Stan Smith were born.
