Shedding some light on Stan Smith’s previously clandestine skating prowess, adidas has released a tongue-firmly-in-cheek video showcasing the legend’s impact on notable skaters like The Gonz, Dennis Busenitz, Matt Hensley, and Lucas Puig.

Nestor Judkins wears Wimbledon-appropriate attire, playing a young, skating Stan Smith and reenacts the techniques as Mark Gonzales, described as “a diet Stan Smith,” tells of John McEnroe stealing moves.

The video is an inventive campaign for adidas’ new Stan Smith Skate shoe available now on their website.
