Stan Smith : A Fantastic man and Iconic Shoe

Thanks to Adidas and Fresh. 

I had the chance to attend last w-e an amazing event in Amsterdam… 

The presentation of the new design of the iconic and original Stan Smith.

The cherry on the cake was to meet Stan Smith himself.

You know how all these itw go… 5 minutes… 
But they were special, I met a great man, elegant and truly interested in sharing his own feelings.

What do you think about the 2014 revival and which color do you prefer?

"I really like the design, specially the one's in suede (out 1st of March)

The white one's were sold out very quickly so I was scare not to have a pair for me ... you imagine!"

Do you consider yourself as a sport legend or a fashion icon?

"At 60 plus…I think I'm a fashion Icon with a mustache!"

Facts: Adidas sold more than 40 millions pairs of SS all over the world and now with the new design Wouuuuu… they are going to rule the world.

Do your grandchildren wear your shoes?

"I have 6 grand children one of them was even baptized in a Church wearing a tiny pair of them… 
Wonderful moment !"

How many pairs of SS do you have?

"I think I have about 40…not bad ;-)"

What's your favorite actual tennis player?

"Spontaneously Roger Federer his game is very interesting, nice game"

It was short but very nice moment to meet you Mr. Stan Smith, a big thanks to Adidas for the organisation of the event.
