The “Samba” name is debossed across the lateral sidewalls in a shiny, metallic gold, and the trainer is finished off with some special co-branding on the tongue, just so everyone knows that this ain’t no ordinary shoe. All of this then comes packed in a limited-edition box created exclusively for this drop.
Yes, the Samba silhouette isn’t as hype-y as it once was even six months ago, but there’s no denying the fact that the sneakerverse has been blessed with some red hot colorways this year. From the Dingyun Zhang collab to the studded Wales Bonners, it’s still a solid shoe no matter the trimmings.
The Sneakersnstuff x Adidas Samba OG ‘Shadow Green’ will release on August 23 at Sneakersnstuff and select retailers worldwide. It’ll also launch alongside a bunch of other special 25th-anniversary gear, including T-shirts and tracksuits.
