Core White leather carries two accent colours on this women's Stan Smith: Bliss Orange, a pale, warm orange, and Silver Metallic. Released April 28, 2023, at $105, it belongs to the 2023 women's range and follows the usual formula of a plain white upper with colour reserved for the trim. Orange is not a colour the Stan Smith wears often, which is what sets this pair apart from the green and black versions that most people own. The pale tone keeps it wearable; it reads as a warm neutral from a distance and only shows as orange up close.
The materials are standard for the line: a smooth leather upper with three rows of perforations on each side in place of stripes, a padded heel tab, a lace-up front and a flat rubber cupsole. Silver Metallic gives a small flash against the white, and the combination of a pastel and a metallic is closer to jewellery than to sportswear, which suits the way the shoe is worn now. The $105 price sat slightly above the $100 that the plain white and green women's Primegreen pair carried in 2021. If you want a Stan Smith that is unmistakably the same shoe but not the same colour as everyone else's, this is one of the gentler ways to do it.
