What the First-Ever Vegetarian Stan Smith Sneakers Look Like
Stella McCartney has long been a champion of sustainability in fashion, whether it's making Meghan Markle's reception gown out of eco-friendly viscose or creating biodegradable sneakers. Her latest venture? Reimagining the classic Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in her signature vegetarian leather. The new sneakers are part of McCartney's ongoing partnership with Adidas, which first began 13 years ago (in case there was any doubt that she led the way in fashion and athletic collaborations).
"Leather-free and suitable for vegetarians without sacrificing on style or straying from the original design, Stella #stansmith reflects Stella McCartney’s signature details," the press release reads. "Paying homage to Stan Smith, his face remains printed on the tongue of the right shoe while Stella’s portrait and signature adorn the left foot." Scroll down to preview the new shoes, which will retail for $325 and debut September 10 in honor of McCartney's birthday week. In the meantime pre-order them online now.
Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
