The adidas Samba is so much more than a soccer shoe nowadays. Hot off the heels of a massive 2023 that saw highly-acclaimed collaborations with Wales Bonner and Sporty & Rich among others, adidas set out to release an elevated Samba with upgraded materials. While the premium construction is the main selling point behind this iteration, it also does well from a design standpoint as beige suede on the stripes and heel harmonises with the leather lining and gum sole. The rest of the upper is dressed in premium white leather, treated with perforations on the toe and tongue to add breathability through the thicker material.
