Raf Simons’ seasons-long collaboration with Adidas Originals has been so weird and wild that it's practically changed the standards of what makes for an acceptable sneaker. So when we say that their latest meet-up, for Fall/Winter 2014, is the most wearable one yet, keep in mind that's only compared to the shin-high, laceless green boots that they put out last year. But truly, these latest styles do feel more relaxed and mature than past looks—sure, that orange shoe above is pretty bright, but overall, it's really a smart, minimalist update of everyone's current favorite sneaker, the Stan Smith.
