Sambas V Stan Smiths

[tthornell]

My Puma romas are getting ready to be replaced. I am condiering classic white and green Stan Smiths or the original black, white, and tan sambas. I need a sneaker that is versatile and can go well with anything, from shorts and a T shirt to jeans and an oxford. I am leaning towards the sambas because it is so hard to keep white shoes white. Your thoughts please.

Stan Smiths--- don't worry about keeping them pristine. They look best when they're not pure white anymore anyway.

Stan Smith...you can never go wrong

Absolutely , Stan Smiths... get the vintage ones...

Sambas. 100% I'd recommend the Samba K though, the Kangaroo leather is worth it.

I like the classic look of the Stan Smiths on other people but personally I wear a ratty old pair of sambas as my work/beater sneakers.

Voted for sambas.

Stan Smiths without a doubt. They're in the outlets and discounters though, so don't pay full price. Also, buy a nice Fred Perry shirt to go with the shoes... They're a deadly combo.

I voted for Stan Smiths but I have both and wear both. If anyone's interested, a friend of mine has a pair of Stan's on eBay right now.

Stan smiths. The vintage ones are better quality but be aware the leather has a shiny / glossy finish which you'll either love or hate.

 

[lakewolf]

Why not both ?

Best answer here. They aren't expensive so you could buy 1 pair of each if you're on the fence.
