For 2025 subtle basics are out, and loud prints are in, and with the adidas Samba ‘Leopard Print’ is prowling onto the scene, and it’s due to be a wild one. Taking the timeless Samba silhouette and injecting it with a bold, animalistic flair, this latest release from the Three-Stripes is equal parts heritage and head-turner.
Sneaker lovers will fondly remember the Wales Bonner pony hair Sambas, which dominated both the streets and resale markets, doubling in price post-drop.
Draped in a textured leopard-print upper, this Samba boasts a fleecy material that lends a tactile edge, creating a sneaker that’s not just visually loud but also rich in detail. Cream-hued Three Stripes offer a balanced contrast, while a vibrant orange topline electrifies the design, adding a playful pop of colour that screams individuality. For those leaning towards darker accents, an alternate iteration swaps the cream stripes for black and the orange topline for green, delivering a more subdued yet equally striking option.
The Samba’s flat gum sole and minimalist design remain intact, grounding the wilder elements with a nod to the shoe’s OG roots. And while this release stands out in its own right, it feels like a natural evolution of adidas’ animal-print lineage.
The adidas Samba ‘Leopard Print’ (JI2734) arrives 29TH JANUARY 2024 at ADIDAS & SELECT STOCKISTS.
