Over the past few years, Adidas has been working on revamping its lifestyle archives. One of the shoes that has undergone a significant transformation is the iconic Adidas Samba. The Samba is a classic silhouette that has been reimagined with a more modern twist, resulting in the creation of the Adidas Sambae.
The Sambae features a slightly bulkier leather upper compared to the original streamlined construction of the Samba. This new design allows for a variety of contemporary choices. One of the standout features is the platformed version of the classic vulcanized gum outsole, which now wraps up the sidewalls. This partially covers the appearance of the thick embroidered 3-Stripes. The remaining part of the shoe stays true to the Samba’s heritage, with gold foil labels and suede-cured mudguards.
The color options for the Sambae include the classic “Core Black” and “Cloud White,” which pay homage to the Samba’s original monochrome style. Additionally, there are “Collegiate Green” and “Collegiate Red” colorways that bring a varsity, prep-style look to the low-top silhouette. These colors are featured within the embroidered 3-Stripes and on both the tongue and heel tabs.
The release date for the Adidas Sambae is set for December 1st, and it will be available in four different colorways. The retail price for this shoe is $110. If you want to get a detailed look at each pair, check out the images provided.
Overall, the Adidas Sambae is a modern take on a classic silhouette. With its updated design elements and color choices, it offers a fresh and stylish option for sneaker enthusiasts. Whether you’re a fan of the original Samba or looking for a new addition to your sneaker collection, the Sambae is worth considering.
