History

The Stacy Adams Shoe Company was founded in 1875 in Brockton, Massachusetts by William H. Stacy and Henry L. Adams.[1]

Morris Day, front man of the Minneapolis-based funk and soul band The Time, is known for his large collection of Stacy Adams shoes. He mentions the brand by name in The Time's 1982 song The Walk, from the album What Time Is It? (album): "I'm about to walk a hole in my Stacy Adams."[2] It was also used as a reference in Snoop Dogg's song " Stacy Adams " featuring Kokane in the album " The Last Meal " in 1999.
