Edison Chen told the press the Stan Smith was the silhouette he wanted to explore from the start of the partnership. This run is the answer: a tennis-court archive piece rebuilt as a summer club shoe. Sneaker News describes the espadrille pair stripped of padding and dropped onto a jute sole with visible stitching, while the beaded sibling threads handcraft beadwork off the heel tab. It pre-dates the 2026 Mundial run by almost a year and treats the espadrille as a tennis reference rather than a football one.
Edison Chen, on integrating the espadrille sole into the Stan Smith: "The Stan Smith is a silhouette I wanted to explore from the very beginning of our partnership."

Three: the white/green Stan Smith Espadrille (JQ9226), the black Stan Smith Espadrille (JQ9227), and the beaded Stan Smith (JR0022). Sneaker News documents JQ9226 and JQ9227 as the espadrille pair released July 2025, with JR0022 following in June.
Sneaker News describes a reimagined espadrille sole of jute fabric with visible stitching, and a deconstructed upper void of padding for a slimmer overall shape. Modern Notoriety adds that the white pair uses all-leather construction over an undyed jute sole.
Modern Notoriety details: the white iteration is all leather over a natural undyed espadrille sole; the black iteration uses synthetic jute-inspired uppers with collapsible chenille heel panels over a black-dyed espadrille midsole.
Sneaker News describes 'beads dangling from the contrast heel tab' in mixed shades of black, blue, and white, against a Core White/Night Navy upper. House of Heat ties the detail to Chen's earlier CLOT Gazelle as a continued handcraft motif.
The two espadrille colorways (JQ9226, JQ9227) released 12 July 2025 at $140 each. The beaded JR0022 released 21 June 2025 at $160. All three landed via adidas.com, CONFIRMED, JUICE, and select retailers.
Both lines use espadrille construction, but the Stan Smith is the tennis-court archive while the Mundial is the football archive. The Stan Smith run pre-dates the 2026 World Cup capsule by almost a year and treats the espadrille as a tennis-club summer reference rather than a terrace one.
