Can somebody explain? I genuinely want to understand the cult-like status of these shoes.
i don't know anyone who's super fucking into stan smiths
that said, they're a nice looking white shoe. what's there to get?
The shoe themselves have been around forever but recently got super hyped up in part of adidas' marketing abilities.
The shoe model itself isn't bad, but the surge in popularity is definitely a product of needing a new "it" thing in clothing every so often.

Its a nice looking white sole for a decent price. Nothing more to 'get'
>>11073281
confortable, durable and simple white sneakers for an honest price.
subtle usage of the three stripes branding, accent colouring.... fuck, it's a white sneaker
what's there to understand?
Just a white sneaker. Also what >>11073299 said. I mean look no further than the adidas shill threads.
Stans are a bit to bulky for my tastes but they look alright.

I was JUST about to post about these shoes. I recently just bought her these Sambas, but I was eyeing the hell out of the Smiths.
>>11073281
lmao stans are fucking high school tier if you're buying these in 2016 you need to kill yourself

Basically everyone who wants cps but cant afford them resorts to these.
>>11073551
Stans aren't Vans tho.

I guarantee if you walk into any high school that isn't in the middle of fucking nowhere without internet that you'll count at least 20 kids wearing them in 5 minutes

I work in a HS in a city with municipal internet and I've seen only seen 3 pairs of Stans.
(Spoiler)They were all on art nerds.(Spoiler)
>>11073281
they are a no-brainer, they can go with so many fits, that's why they're so popular
>>11073551
wow good thing I bought them in 2014, really dodged a bullet here!!
>stans
>cult like
Wouldnt the term "cult like" make more sense for a shoe like geos qasas, ramones, or rafs? I think you meant widely available, cheap, and trendy.

The result of a very expensive viral marketing scheme where production was dialled down then afterwards they got famous fashion people to be seen with them.
tfw all the meme clothing and meme shoes are considered tasteful in new zealand
i imagine stans are overplayed as fuck in the states or whereever but over here whilst they arent exactly rare youll barely ever see anyone with them when you go out
the new meme shoe here is the adidas superstars though eugh
anyways i digress, the silhouette of the shoe is nice, the white is nice, the green gives it a bit of character, so all in all a pretty good shoe for the price range
i recommend

HS senior in a school of 4000 reporting in, most people know of stans but barely anyone's has a pair, the plebs here wear sambas, superstars, and converse.
There is the occasional yeezy or made in America new balance. I even see some cdg plays once in a while
