The Consortium Cup was a design competition that gave rise to the adidas and END. x adidas Samba 'Past' - Consortium Cup partnership. A number of competitors took on one another, with END. facing Hanon. The Samba was one of three adidas styles that dominated the stage. This classic sneaker was covered in cream-colored suede by END., along with frayed 3-Stripes inspired by a carpet and a heel panel. The trademark element 'Past' in shiny gold adjacent to the 3-Stripes is a visually arresting touch. The outsole of the shoe is gum brown in colour.
