ORIGINAL ARTICLE 11/04/2024: There is one silhouette that always stands out as a symbol of timeless style and urban flair – the adidas Samba. It goes without saying that since its inception in 1973, the silhouette has been a mainstay on the streets. As 2024 unfolds, the Three-Stripes once again redefines the boundaries of sneaker design with the bold and luxurious adidas Samba OG ‘Black Croc’.

Closer Look at the adidas Samba OG Made in Italy (IE9120)…

Gone are the days of traditional smooth leather uppers; the adidas Samba OG ‘Black Croc’ makes a statement with its daring ‘Core Black’ colour scheme. However, what truly sets this iteration apart is its distinctive texture. Embracing the allure of the exotic, the shoe boasts a glossy, crocodile-inspired pattern that adds a touch of sophistication to any ensemble. With every step, the ‘Black Croc’ commands attention, effortlessly blending luxury with streetwear sensibilities.

And it’s not just about looks; adidas has nailed the details too. The 3-Stripes pop in bright white against the dark exterior, injecting a cool contrast. And those waxed laces? They add a touch of sophistication, keeping things classy whilst still keeping the lifestyle essence promiment.

Even with its modern makeover, this iteration stays true to its roots. The iconic Trefoil logo proudly sits on the tongue, and the stealthy rubber sole doesn’t just nod to the shoe’s sporty origins, but also promises durability and comfort for all-day wear.

Unfortunately, a release date for the adidas Samba OG ‘Black Croc’ is currently unknown. While we await more details, why not check out the currently available Samba colourways via the banner below…
