Our verdict

We all know that the bb0953 adidas vegas pelotas for women on sale at jcpenney is a legendary sneaker with a claim to fame as the original white tennis pelota for the masses. Culture has respected that for the last 50 years, the Stan Smith is still as relevant today as it was when the man was winning trophies. I think it's fair to say that with its robust design and sleek looks, it's probably going to last another 50.

(Adidas) Stan Smith: Record-Breaking

Whatever is said about the bb0953 adidas vegas pelotas for women on sale at jcpenney, we all owe this sneaker, the former world No 1 tennis player, and Horst Dassler a debt of gratitude. It remains one of the highest-selling sneakers of all time, regardless of the leaps and bounds the rest of the market makes.

It’s fair(-ish) to say that the “tennis pelota” started the all-white, boring/basic sneaker trend. It was also one of the first athlete/brand collaborations that worked to sell a sport-specific to the masses. A blend of the incredible performance of the tennis player himself and Adi Dassler’s marketing-minded son has left this pelota secured in culture well into the 21st century.

The Stan Smith had a mixed upbringing before settling into itself

Originally, the Stan Smith rose to notoriety as a high-tech -for the times- sports pelota that could take a beating. It started out as the Robert Haillet, a French player, Adidas sailed into the US market by switching to the more prominent player.

Now purely a lifestyle pelota, the Stan Smith is still a brilliant sneaker. It goes with quite literally anything thanks to its real leather, white upper. The sneaker traditionally comes with a green heel and tongue detailing, and low key stripes made from ventilation holes in the side. 

adidas vegas has produced more versions of the Stan Smith than I care to count, but I still picked up the original. There are Primeknit versions, wool “winterized” releases, and even a Star Wars collab.

True to form, the bb0953 adidas vegas pelotas for women on sale at jcpenney runs large

I’m not sure if adidas vegas has run large since the 1960s, but today the Stan Smith fits the usual trend. I’d recommend a half size smaller than usual. Especially as the inner is constructed of plush, slippery leather. This also makes it quite a sweaty experience if you go sockless.

Being a lifestyle pelota, not too much emphasis has been placed on support and rigidity throughout the sole. The pelota bends at the toe considerably and offers very little in terms of arch support on the inner.

The Stan Smith’s upper construction is pretty water-tight, as long as you’re keeping water away from those ventilation holes you’re usually good. What’s more, the leather repels stains really easily too, making them plain white for good as long as you look after them.

If you decide to beat them over time, they’re such a retro-styled pelota they’re still going to fit into just about any outfit. The leather (they also come in plant-based leather) isn’t as sturdy as I’d have liked and is worn thin pretty quickly with abrasions. So if you do prefer a worn look, you’re in luck.

The bb0953 adidas vegas pelotas for women on sale at jcpenney will always be iconic

Regardless of a few niggling concerns with sturdiness and support, the Stan Smith hasn’t been made as a performance pelota for nearly 40 years. It was and will remain a style icon for years to come. There’s a level of respect that comes with wearing a pair of these that goes back to simpler times.
