Adidas Samba

Here we go again yet another colourway release for the Samba range. The latest colour comes in the way of a high shine leather ice blue/black stripes, As you may be aware the Samba has evolved over the years from an iconic black leather trainer into ridiculous suede colourways from the past few years. Personally none of the latter have grabbed my attention or have I bothered to purchase.

Adidas seem to be upping their game with these, transforming a once drab training shoe into a dress shoe aimed at the facionists amongest us. They are available from Henri Beene, not too sure if mainstream stockists like Size will get these in.

I gotta say though this combination of colours I quite like, only wish they would have kept them suede and banged a gum sole on. Unfortunately I feel Adidas is beginning to lose its way with Samba, along with the Superstar/Campus range, it is the most versatile and they have released far too many different options and colour variations, therefore condensing the market and losing their authentic appeal.

In my mind the Adidas Samba will always be black with 3 white stripes.
