The Dime x adidas Skateboarding Stan Smith Is Wavy AF
While terrace classics continue to be going strong, the Three Stripes are continuing to revive their line-up of for the season ahead. Over , it became clear that the will be well and truly back for good, and now it seems that the is also set to get a new lease of life for the second half of 2024. After a version of the tennis icon was teased just a few days ago, Montreal-based skateboard brand are also lining up to put their spin on the silhouette.
Tagging in the Instagram reveal, it looks like the Dime x adidas Stan Smith could feature a couple of modifications to make the silhouette more skateable, which suggests the model in question is the adidas Skateboarding Stan Smith ADV. Aesthetically, things get super wavy (literally), with Dime’s signature wavy lines working their way across the uppers to form an embossed, warped grid. The duo has prepped two colourways of the Stan Smith – a classic white and green (although a darker green than the pair is known for) and a black and brown version with gold accents. Both pairs also swap out the Stan Smith tongue logos for *that* botched Jesus painting – a motif that’s featured on quite a few of Dime’s pieces to date. The collection also includes two pairs of Ayoon Slides, perfect for post-skate recovery.
In addition to the teaser images, Dime have also shared a tongue-in-cheek campaign video for the collection, where the colab is introduced by Stan Smith himself. Players (aka skateboarders Nora Vasconcellos and Hugo Balek) then take to the pitch armed with skateboards instead of rackets, while DJ and record producer Darude (yes, of Sandstorm fame) acts as umpire.
