Typically, a regular version of the adidas Originals Stan Smith will only set you back around $75-$90. This Raf Simons x adidas Originals Stan Smith collaboration is not your regular version release, and it will definitely not cost you around $75-$90. Putting some minimal high fashion aesthetics on the shoe will have you paying a pretty hefty price.
The limited release comes in a white and green colorway where the white is seen on the leather upper and the green acts as the complimenting accent color found on the heel tab of the shoe. One major difference you can spot on the shoe is the the perforated Three Stripes usually found on the side panels is replaced with a perforated R that is meant to stand for Raf. In addition to the perforated branding, the shoe will also come with “Raf Simons” debossed on the side of the heel and your traditional Stan Smith/Trefoil branding placed on the heel tab. Metal eyelets, a leather lining, tonal white laces and a white sole units rounds out the feature on the shoes. Retail price? A cool $455. Would you cop or is this way too much?

Author’s Take
I’ma keep it real, you’re really paying for the name on this high fashion collaboration. There’s no way this shoe is worth $455. It all trickles down to supply and demand. As long as people keep buying at ridiculous prices, they will continue to deliver product.
