Introducing the adidas Samba
The adidas Samba traces its roots back to 1948, when Adi Dassler created a football boot designed to provide players with extra grip and stability on icy pitches. By 1950, adidas had released the first official Samba, crafted with kangaroo leather uppers and durable rubber soles.
Beyond the pitch, the Samba quickly found a new life in the 1960s streetwear scene, cementing its place as a global style staple. Renowned for its comfort, durability, and versatility, the Samba bridges the gap between performance and everyday wear. Today, it remains one of the most iconic and recognisable sneakers in the world, celebrated for its rich heritage and timeless design.
