Adidas presents the hybrid of the year! New unusual sneakers for summer 2025

This year belongs to the most popular fashion hybrid: ballet flats and sneakers. After Puma's mary janes and Salomon's retro ballet flats, it's time for a real revolution: adidas introduces a ballet version of its iconic Stan Smith model. The result? A minimalist, surprisingly modern design that fits into one of the strongest trends of 2025 - balletcore.

This season, designers have literally flooded us with hybrid combinations of two shoe models. What's more, each one has done it in such a unique way that a whole bunch of ballerina-sneakers or sneaker ballerinas have been created. Sports brands initially approached it with a bit of reserve, but top fashion houses have begun to break the ice. After the Louis Vuitton sneaker appeared on the market, it turned out that anything goes.

The new Adidas Stan Smith Low Ballet is the fashion quintessence of the world's most popular hybrid. You won't find any mesh or colorful accessories here. Instead, we have an ultra-minimalist silhouette made of soft leather, a thin sole and one subtle Velcro strap that replaces traditional lacing. Zero unnecessary details - just purity of form.

The new model debuts in two color versions: classic black and white with a red accent. It effectively draws attention, but is not so extravagant that it cannot fit into several trends at the same time. Both fans of minimalist sports styling in athleisure aesthetics will be delighted with this model, as well as Z models, for whom it is a model of "their time".

Stan Smith Low Ballet are shoes that can be successfully combined with a linen dress, an oversized suit or even sports trousers. They are an ideal alternative to classic sneakers - especially in the summer, when we are looking for something lighter, but still comfortable. Their low construction and soft form make them perfect both in the city and during weekend trips. What attracts attention the most is the maximum use of the benefits of comfortable wearing sneakers and the minimalist, timeless aesthetics reserved for typical ballerinas.

For fans of the Adidas brand, it is also a small nod to history. The Stan Smith is a model that has enjoyed unwavering popularity since the 1970s. Over the decades , it has undergone successive metamorphoses – from a tennis classic to a lifestyle icon. Now, thanks to the ballerina version, it is gaining a new audience: fashion lovers who value functionality and timeless design.

The Stan Smith Low Ballet streetwear ballerinas are captivating above all with their lifestyle character. They don't pretend to be suitable for training - they are meant to look good for everyday.

The premiere of this model is planned for summer 2025, and the suggested retail price is to be around $70-100. The sports ballerinas from Adidas will be available both online and in stationary stores.
