Copper is an unusual accent for a shoe that usually answers to green. On this women's Stan Smith the upper, laces and cupsole are all Footwear White, and the only colour is Copper Metallic, a warm reflective tone used on the heel tab and tongue markings where the standard shoe carries green. The result sits between an all-white court shoe and a metallic pair: white from most angles, with a flash of copper at the back. adidas released it on December 23, 2020, in women's sizing.
Timing gives this pair a small footnote. It is a leather Stan Smith from the last days of 2020; in 2021 adidas rebuilt the standard model with a Primegreen upper made from at least 50 percent recycled content and no virgin polyester, and marketed it as vegan. Leather pairs like this one therefore close out a run rather than open one. Otherwise it is the shoe as it has stood since it took Stan Smith's name in 1978: three rows of perforations in the stripe positions instead of external stripes, a padded heel tab, the sketched portrait of Smith on the tongue label, and a rubber cupsole. For anyone who wants the white leather version specifically, with a metallic accent instead of green, this late-2020 women's release is one of the pairs to look for.
