Adidas Stan Smith II trainers get seasonal canvas finish

Stan1

The Adidas Stan Smith has been doing the rounds since 1965, appearing in a host of different styles during that 45-year period. So it's no surprise to see another for summer, specifically the Adidas Stan Smith II trainers in canvas.

Essentially it's still the same tennis shoe turned casual classic, but this time a canvas upper has been added, a choice of white or a more bold dark blue, along with the perforated three stripe branding, adidas branding on the leather heel piece, pinstripe tongue plus a vulcanised midsole.

Tennis wallpaper from Turner Pocock Cazalet

Tennis-wallpaper

Though we've featured hundreds of trainers and items of clothing that draw on the rich heritage of tennis, it's hard to think of its influence on home wares. Well, all that could change with this Tennis wallpaper from Turner Pocock Cazalet

The wallpaper uses a repeat design of tennis bats and balls in the classic colours of white and green, of course featuring the yellow balls too. There's a close-up of the pattern over the page. Although it's a very unusual design, it recalls novelty patterns of the 1920s and 30s. 

If you like the idea but not the game featured, they've also created a wallpaper featuring that other classic British sport – cricket.

Also available in more neutral vintage colour way, a roll costs £70.50.
