Rita Ora Just Revamped Adidas Stan Smiths in the Coolest Way
Rita Ora has been working with Adidas for two years now, but we think the collaboration may have just reached its sartorial peak. Dubbed the Color Paint Pack, her latest collection features two cool, artsy interpretations of the brand’s most iconic sneakers: the Stan Smiths and the Superstars.
Featuring a unique paint-by-numbers pattern, the shoes offer a partially blank canvas that’s designed to leave the rest up to your imagination. (DIY lovers, this should be music to your ears.) If you want to get your hands on a pair of the shoes, you’ll have to wait a few more days: Ora’s latest collection will be launching on Thursday, August 18. As for price, the revamped versions will only be slightly more expensive than the originals: The Stan Smiths will ring in at $85, compared to $75 for the plain white versions you know and love.
Scroll down to see Rita Ora’s new Adidas sneaker designs, launching on August 18!

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
