About the adidas Stan Smith Raf Simons Comfort Badge

Where the Core Black Comfort Badge disappears, the Power Red version does the opposite. It is the same Raf Simons design, a Stan Smith with three hook-and-loop straps in place of laces and two oversized chenille letters, an 'R' and an 'S', filling the quarter panels; but every element here is Power Red, a saturated bright red that turns the shoe into a single block of colour. The patches stay tonal, so the initials show as a change in surface, chenille pile against smooth leather, rather than as a contrast graphic. It released July 18, 2017, at $300.

Simons's Comfort Badge arrived for Fall/Winter 2017 in three colourways, Power Red, Talc and Core Black, each at $300, and the red and black pairs released on the same July day. Red is the one that shows the idea most clearly. The design borrows a strap closure adidas normally reserves for kids' sizing and then scales the branding up to match, and a bright monochrome makes that scale obvious in a way the dark pair cannot: the straps, the patches and the raised chenille all catch light differently against the flat red leather. As a wearing proposition it is the loudest of Simons's Stan Smiths and the one that depends least on knowing who he is; the red does the talking before the monogram registers.
