The adidas Stan Smith Primeknit J 'Tech Steel' sneaker for kids brings a refreshing twist to the timeless design with its striking blue color and breathable Primeknit material. Originally created by Horst Dassler, the son of adidas founder Adi Dassler, and initially named after tennis player Robert Haillet. In 1978, the shoe was rebranded as the Stan Smith in honor of the accomplished tennis icon's triumph at the US Open. This version for kids ensures optimum comfort with step-in cushioning and a durable rubber cupsole.
