Over the weekend I went to the Adidas store and an employee told me that the Stan Smith leather model will soon be discontinued and replaced by a vegan leather model. I actually yelled, NO WAY, That’s BS! He started laughing and agreed with me because he didn’t want leather sneakers to go away either. While I haven’t even tried vegan leather sneakers, I’m sad that we won’t even have an option to choose anymore. And since that day, I have talked to a few people who have worn vegan leather Stan Smiths and they seem disappointed by the quality.
Thankfully I was able to get this last pair of leather Stan Smiths that day. And hopefully this vegan leather phase only lasts a few years. (Yes, I’m aware of the damage leather causes to this world from cattle ranches, so in a way I hope the quality of vegan leather improves over time so that it becomes the best material to use on sneakers).
