As adidas' most minimalist sneaker, the iconic Stan Smith has already mastered the art of "less is more." Now, it's even more, well, minimal. And, even better, it's extra luxe, too.

The newest adidas Stan Smith Lux arrives as the finest version of the classic tennis shoe. The original all-white Stan Smith was a favorite of designers like Raf Simons and Phoebe Philo. This tonal take could've been designed by either — it's just that good.

Here, the sportswear brand has stripped down its most fashion-forward low-top classic to even simpler tonal schemes and wrapped it in textural crackled leather for a tastefully aged feel.

The results? Basically, the perfect Stan Smith sneaker.

That's not to say the previous Stan Smith Lux sneakers weren't good because as of late, they've all been very nice.

But adidas latest redesign really hits the nail on the head, quietly elevating the shoe's typically minimalist design.

It follows in the wake of adidas building an army of low-key luxe Stans, including super flat-soled versions and Stan Smith "dress shoes" that push the boundary of what it means to be a Stan Smith.

But, for now, adidas offers its vintage-inspired Stan Smith Lux in "Grey Four" and "Brown Desert" colorways. The brown Stans are currently up for grabs on adidas Japan's website for ¥19,800 (around $127).
