Let’s delve into more specifics of the special edition Kermit sneakers. The Kermit Stan Smith Design

Its style & design is impeccable, but is the Adidas Stan Smith a well-built shoe? Let’s find out. Synthetic Leather Upper adidas has never been shy about collaborating with names (big or small). And for its latest joint-effort, the German sportswear behemoth has tapped two iconic figures for its renowned adidas Stan Smith: Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog.

They do not offer wider sides and so it could be a problem area for those with wider than normal feet. My feet are normal, though narrower shoes like the Nike Killshot 2, worn for lengthy periods of time causes me some discomfort. These Stan Smith’s, however, are comfortable worn all day.

And in 2021, Adidas launched a new-and-improved sustainable Stan Smith, with a complete overhaul, using its own PRIMEGREEN high-performance recycled materials while maintaining the iconic shoe design. And there you have it, our in-depth review of the quintessential Adidas Stan Smith sneakers. I’ve been wanting to put this review together for awhile. It’s always fun to write about products that have permeated the fashion zeitgeist and are rooted in sports history (like the Nike Killshot). Today, the Stan Smith sneaker is one of the modern era’s most widely-accepted silhouettes with a collab roster of Raf Simons, Beyonce and Kanye West, though the latter likely lost his endorsement due to being a highly controversial figure. I thought that was the end of the run. When they told me at the end of 2011 that they were going to take it off the market for two years and relaunch it I walked out of that meeting with my wife and my agent saying, “Well, it's been a good 40 years.” But as it turned out, Adidas had some great plans for relaunching it in 2014. To be honest, I really didn't believe that the team had a plan to relaunch it and so I thought that was the end of the shoe. One of the most classic silhouettes in sneaker history, the adidas Stan Smith can be found in the closets of millions around the globe, from your average consumer to the most famous celebrities. While Disney has linked up with The Three Stripes in the past and brought multiple characters to life, the latest round of Disney x adidas Stan Smith colorways includes classic villains like Dr. Doom and even the loveable Muppet, Kermit The Frog.It doesn’t get dirty all that easily too, which is a plus. And there’s the adidas logotype and the trefoil leaves emblem printed along the side of the outsole. Laces My Kermit Stan Smith sneakers have an identical design to the current Stan Smith model, but instead of the classic kelly green shade, it’s a much lighter, lime (almost neon) green color, the same color as the beloved Kermit the Frog. This isn’t the first time Kermit has dressed the silhouette. In the past, he’s had two, but both pale in comparison to this upcoming colorway. Here, the base is kept its usual white, defaced little save for at the heel with the image of the frontman himself. This homage continues even further by way of the collar, whose plush cloth lining resembles the texture and tone of the green puppet. Heel tabs follow suit, though they arrive much lighter to contrast the “being green” text and trefoil that brand atop. While the tongue features logos of its own, its most standout feature is its pink, tongue-reminiscent coloring. Additionally, I’ve worn them all day many times—last summer when I was in Las Vegas just for fun and this year traveling to Boise for a conference, and just casually wearing them day-to-day.

So with a comfortable step, a quality build (granted it’s not made with real leather) and a highly affordable price point, this iconic sneaker punches well above its weight while graded on price to performance.It’s a commercial for adidas’ new sustainable Stan Smith made with recyclable materials, which the brand unveiled earlier this year. And lest anyone question Kermit’s greatness, The Green One now has his very own iteration of the silhouette. For the next chapter of its “Stan Smith, Forever” initiative aimed at reducing plastic waste, the Three Stripes is unleashing a new take on the eco-forward version of the sneaker inspired by the hallowed Muppet. (It’s the brand’s first Kermit collab since 2011’s Superstar IIs.) For details, you’ll find a sketched drawing of Kermit in the lower right corner of the shoe along with ‘KERMIT’ in all caps angled in the middle of the upper, between two of the perforated stripes. Well, you’ve gotta commend them—Adidas has been working towards making their shoes, particularly the Stan Smiths with sustainable materials. It’s been a big year for Adidas collaborations: with filmmaker-slash-style-legend Jonah Hill, with Italian fashion powerhouse Prada, and of course, the brand’s ongoing partnership with Pharrell. Now we can add Kermit the Frog to the list. One of the Three Stripes’ most beloved sneakers—the forever-classic Stan Smith—gets remixed with plenty of Kermit-esque details. We’re talking lime green heel caps, Kermit graphic on the upper, and the Muppet’s signature “It’s not easy being green” catchphrase stitched on the heel. Plus, the classic low-top tennis shoe is also made with 50% high-performance recycled materials. (Talk about going green!)
