adidas Samba ‘Leopard Print’ is a Budget Friendly Bonner Alternative

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.

A Closer Look at the adidas Samba ‘Leopard Print’ (JI2734)…

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.
