adidas has recently added two Sambas to the swelling range of World Cup 2010 product (though most of what we’ve seen so far has been from the Swoosh). The indoor footie sneakers come in basic leather color ups – black on white for the US and red on gum for Germany. Each shoe also includes a country-specific lace jewel. You can find them at HUF.

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.

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.

Detailed images of the adidas Originals x Stone Island Samba sneaker follow after the jump.
