In celebration of Black History Month<\/strong>, adidas is telling the stories that matter and need to be told. Expressed through sneakers and apparel, the three stripes uses the Stan Smith<\/a> to tell the tale of the great Arthur Ashe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The first African-American male to win a Grand Slam title, Ashe doubled as a civil rights activist, using his sporting platform to evoke change for the mistreated and disenfranchised. In 1975 he won Wimbledon, which serves as the number of Arthur Ashe x adidas Stan Smith<\/strong> pairs in production. His face appears at the tongue in place of another tennis legend, Stan Smith, over this simplistic white and black palette.<\/p>\n Give the shoe a closer look below and stay tuned for a release in late February. The apparel collection is available now at adidas.com.<\/p>\n
