With a timeless low-top silhouette and signature 3-Stripes contrast branding, the ADIDAS ORIGINALS SAMBA has taken the world by storm. After viral success across social media platforms and celebrity street style, we’ve seen the shoe pretty much dominate the mass market over the past year. It seems that everyone and their nan has a pair, from supermodels Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner to your mate who lives next door. But even before the trends and fads, the Samba was widely commended as one of adidas’ most iconic models.

The Samba was initially introduced in 1950 for the purpose of football, intended to aid players by improving traction on hard surfaces. It quickly became a go-to for indoor footballers, and as popularity for the sport grew, so did hype surrounding the Samba. Since then, the adidas Originals Samba has dominated spaces far beyond football, with both streetwear junkies and casual wearers eager to flaunt the kicks.

Despite the shoe’s success in longevity through classic design models, the Samba has seen a variety of collaborative reimaginations in its time. From the likes of Palace Skateboards (2018) to a more recent collaboration with Sporty & Rich (2023), Samba partnerships have only helped to drive awareness and identity.

It’s safe to say that the adidas Samba can stand the test of time. The model’s timeless look has ensured broad appeal to an array of communities, with each reimagining only elevating the shoe’s identity and maintaining relevance. Typically embracing a clean and tidy image through durable leather materials, the signature suede toe cap is intended to increase durability when having a kick about. A gum rubber outsole completes the iconic trainer, conventionally embedded with a tread pattern for advanced hold. 

It’s no doubt that the Samba is here to take over not only the Summer, but the world. The adidas Samba is available to purchase now, via the banner below…
