My Take
For me, Stan Smith is a tennis champion first and a sneaker second. The Pasadena-born world No. 1 won the 1971 US Open and 1972 Wimbledon, formed one of history's great doubles teams with Bob Lutz, and earned Hall of Fame induction in 1987. That his name now lives on a white Adidas shoe worn worldwide only underscores his stature; the cultural icon was built on a genuine athletic legacy. I find it remarkable when an athlete transcends sport into everyday culture, and Smith did it the right way, with the trophies to back the brand.
