Today we get a first more detailed look at the adidas Originals Plants Pack. The pack, with obvious inspiration from the world of plants, consists of the Nizza Hi Plant, Samba Plant, Forum Mid Plant, Stan Smith 80s Plant and the Superstar 80s Plant. All sneakers of the pack come in premium white leathers with an enhanced adidas Trefoil logo and the sole inspired by soil.

Today we see an early release of the adidas Originals Five-Two 3 Samba Madsaki. The sneaker comes as part of an artist group of the Five-Two 3 Project. The artist worked on the Samba, which comes with an exotic leather upper, a pattern over the mid-sole and over the lace-flap. All branding on the sneaker has been re-interpreted in the Madsaki signature font. The sneaker is already available at Rice & Beans.

More detailed images of the sneaker follow after the jump.

We get a detailed look at the new collaboration between adidas Originals and Kalavinka Bikes. Together they created a new version of the adidas Originals Samba. It comes in a premium white leather colorway with blue stripes and details, along with a multicolor stripe on the heel and a lace guard. Matching the sneaker they of course also produced a fixed gear bike.

The Crooked C-Law offers a look into one of his latest projects with adidas. Adding an adi-twist to the now-prevalent fixie sneaker market, the indoor-soccer-staple-Samba had the midsole slimmed down, the toebox reinforced, and the tongue/insole plastered with bike-oriented graphics. The colorways are quite nice as well. A release date is yet to be announced, but we assume distribution will be fairly generous on these.

A new limited edition adidas Samba MTL has been released in Japan this week. The Samba comes with a black crackled leather upper and metallic gold accents. In contrast to the upper, the sneaker features a purple sole. The sneaker is now available at Styles.

After a first small preview of some of the collaborations from the adidas Originals Five-Two 3 Brands Pack, we can finally show you detailed images and give you lots of background information on each one of the releases. First we present you the adidas x Stone Island Samba.

Renowned for their trailblazing work in researching fabric treatments and studying form and function, Stone Island’s take on the Samba soccer training silhouette defies convention, taking the recognisable ‘Raso Gommato’ technical fabric from the brand’s archive, a rubberised military cotton satin, and treating it with an original process. Dyeing the separate upper components then unleashing a colour corrosion on it, washing off the colour, bar the serrated 3-Stripes to emphasise this iconic branding, highlighted with stitch detailing, and a more traditional suede forked forefoot panel.

Continuing the appropriately unorthodox approach to reworking a classic, asymmetric zip fastening replaces conventional lacing, revealing a dual branded tongue beneath, while a smoother outsole jettisons smaller details to focus on the main features. The Stone Island logo is rendered in white stitching on the left shoe, and a leather and suede heeltab, plus a custom sockliner finish a stunning new look for the Samba’s slimline silhouette.

As part of their Consortium Collection, Adidas will be releasing the Casual Series in May. The series consists of all time classics that are being brought back in classic silhouettes and with premium materials. Find in the line-up the Bamba, Samba, Tobacco, Forest Hills and Jeans. Materials include jersey, plaid, cotton tartan, corduroy and others.
It is nice seeing Adias going the other direction and applying more classic colors and materials, instead of flashy colors. Expect the Casual Series to appear in premier sneaker boutiques in the coming weeks
