Stan Smith II - Camo
We covered Stan Smith's and the "fashion-forward" versions of the classic back in September. We've come across another version, the Stan Smith II - Camo.
An interesting tidbit of information I picked up. The Stan Smith was introduced in 1965 as the first all-leather tennis shoe, and was originally endorsed by Robert Haillet. It was only renamed the Stan Smith in 1971.
Camo, of course, is short for camouflage, which as defined by Wikipedia is something that "allows an otherwise visible organism or object to remain indiscernible from the surrounding environment." My question, then, is in what surrounding environment would these Stan Smiths be "indiscernible?" Confetti? Vomit after eating too much candy? Or does one need to be on an acid trip in order not to see these shoes?
