The Latest Stan Smiths Are Pretty In Cotton Candy Pink. And Other Pink Kicks You Should Consider.

The love for pink is still going strong in 2018, especially for Spring and Summer. There’s nothing better than pink hues to remind us of the freshness and energy of the two bright seasons. Of course, our tropical island only has Summer but who says we can’t dress for the seasons?
This Spring, adidas Originals has released the classic Stan Smith in a vibrant pink and black colourway. We’re loving the hue because it’s a lovely bright pink that turns heads but doesn’t overwhelm the whole look, making it perfect as a statement piece or focal point for any outfit.

The shoes come in complete pink, other than the black heel tab and gum soles that have the adidas logo embellished on the back half. Of course, the tongue is branded with the Stan Smith logo to complete the delightful design.
These cotton candy pink Stan Smiths (€100) are currently available online at footdistrict.com and they offer worldwide shipping! That’s music to our ears.


Lately, we’ve noticed that brands have been launching quite a few of their footwear in pink colourways, so here are some blush-toned shoes that we think you should definitely consider if you’re on the hunt for some pink kicks.

For the bold

These shoes come in pinks that are closer to neons so they’re definitely going to attract attention when you strut down the street. Both shoes come in suede uppers which means they need to be sprayed with a protector if you want to wear them out on a rainy day. We recommend pairing them with dark tones to really make these pink shoes pop and stand out from your whole outfit.
 

For something more peachy

Peachy pinks and dusty pinks are super trendy because they’re the perfect hues for those who want a toned-down pink but not limit themselves to something pale. These two silhouettes are also more chunky than regular sneakers so they’re great for those who prefer streetwear or those who are into the athleisure trend.
 

For those into nudes

We love nudes. Don’t let your mind go astray, we meant nude shades. They’re the perfect way to move away from the usual black and white without having to plunge straight into the world of colour. Nude pinks are also super easy to pair with other colours so you don’t have to worry too much about clashing palettes!
 

On the fence about pinks?

The uppers are accented by pastel pink embellishments with contrasting dark grey panels, making it perfect for those of us who aren’t ready to commit to a fully pink shoe. The chunky silhouette is also quite masculine so, coupled with the restrained use of pink, this design is well-suited for those of us who still want a bit of feminine flare with our fierce outfits.
