This shoe is a unique leather Stan Smith that uses the "Trompe L'oeil" technique to create an optical illusion. The upper is predominantly Core Black leather, but it features a printed image of an adidas Samba model across the side, including the iconic T-toe, Three-Stripes, and stitching details—all digitally rendered to look three-dimensional. The Raf Simons signature perforated 'R' is notably absent, replaced by the printed image. The design is finished with Cloud White accents on the heel and tongue and a Bright Blue printed accent on the Samba's features, sitting atop the standard Stan Smith cupsole.
