Primegreen is adidas's recycled fabric made with no virgin plastic, and in 2021 it became the standard construction for the Stan Smith. This women's pair, released in March 2021 at $100, applies it to the colourway most people picture when they hear the name: a Cloud White upper, a green tab at the heel, and a white sole underneath. The perforated rows that stand in for the Three Stripes, the sketched portrait on the tongue and the low cupsole profile are all present, so the change is in what the shoe is made of rather than how it looks.
The Primegreen upper is at least 50% recycled content and contains no virgin polyester, and adidas rebuilt the standard Stan Smith on it in 2021 rather than limiting it to a special edition. That matters because of scale: adidas reported passing 100 million pairs sold around 2019, so moving the design onto recycled materials affects far more shoes than any collaboration. This colourway is the one to choose if you want the recycled build without any visual departure from the original. The women's sizing, the $100 price and the plain white and green palette make it the default Stan Smith of its year, not a variant of one.
