Product Note

In 2014 Pharrellā€™s relationship with Adidas was thriving and his Chanel partnership was just starting to take shape. As a foretelling of things to come, Pharrell stepped out in this exclusive, never-released yellow (Pharrellā€™s favorite color) colorway of Adidas Stan Smiths. While the tongue of the Stan Smith model historically bears an image of and endorsement by the tennis legend himself, this pair (againā€¦ never released) bears an image of and endorsement by Pharrell Williams. Reminiscent of (if not an homage to) the De La Soul 3 Feet High and Rising album color, Pharrell doodled these with flowers and other shapes and emblazoned them with ā€œCHANELā€ across the side. This Pharrell-ified hand-drawn aesthetic would find its way into the 2019 Pharrell X Chanel capsule line as multiple pairs of Chanel ready-to-wear sneakers were treated similarly. This particular pair of publicly worn size 9s are the originals, straight from Pharrellā€™s personal collection.Ā
