Adidas has the premium Stan Smith Lux on sale for only $72, a perfect summer shoe

If you’re still searching for a Father’s Day gift that feels thoughtful but won’t just gather dust, this might be it. Right now, the

Stan Smith Lux

, a premium version of Adidas’ iconic sneaker, is marked down to

$72 during the Adidas Summer Kickoff Sale

.

The

Stan Smith Lux

is made with full-grain leather inside and out, so it feels more like a designer shoe than a retro reissue. The materials are what set it apart: soft, structured, and built to last without any extra bulk or flash. It’s the kind of sneaker that doesn’t scream for attention, just

quietly outclasses everything else in the closet

.

The Lux

comes in a range of clean, versatile colorways — all-white, white with green, sleek black, soft cream, bold blue, and even a muted yellow. Whether the dad in your life has a style that’s more casual, or more polished, there’s a version that’ll slot right in. Perforated stripes, gold tongue branding, and a crisp heel tab keep it minimalist, not generic. Everyone’s seen a Stan Smith, but

not one like this

.

Unlike the standard version, which can feel stiff at first,

the Lux

is ready to wear straight out of the box. A foam-backed insole and soft leather lining make it comfortable from day one, and the fit

only gets better with time

.

Normally $150, they’re

just $72 during the sale

— a

40% discount

on a gift that feels way more expensive than it is. And if you want to round it out (or get something for yourself!), the sale includes other Adidas favorites too, from

Ultraboost running shoes

to everyday styles like the

Campus 00s

. Most sizes are still in stock, but that won’t last.

Skip the tie.
