The adidas Samba Millennium is a criminally underrated shoe. So often overshadowed by the low-profiled Samba, the evolved Millennium sneaker has rarely seen the light of day since its inception in the early 2010s, much to my dismay.
However, adidas’ Samba Millennium shoe is finally making its long-awaited comeback thanks to Adsum. On November 6, the New York-based label revealed a collaborative adidas Samba sneaker and a release date.
Adsum, which last teamed up with adidas back in 2017 for a friends and family football kit collaboration, has revealed its biege-colored Samba Millennium sneaker, which comes equipped with gold Adsum branding and a neat white trim wrapping the gum sole.
The adidas Samba has been the subject of a multitude of collaborations over the last few years. The Samba Millennium, though, remains virtually unheard of. Until now that is. The low-profiled sneaker will land exclusively on November 16 at 11am ET via the Adsum webstore.
Long-time admirers of Adsum will be well-aware that this isn’t the brand's first sneaker collaboration.
Last year the label released a chocolate-y take on Reebok's Club C Mid II before iterations on Vans' OG Era LX and OG Classic Slip-On a few months later.
Adsum's most sought-after footwear collaboration to date, though, undoubtedly came back back in 2018 when it teamed up with New Balance for its very own Friends & Family 990v3.
The shoe, which comprised a navy upper with Adsum embroidery at the rear, was available exclusively to those ITK, with only a few pairs actually available to the public.
This release is, however, Adsum’s first official footwear link up with adidas and I can already say with some gusto that this new adidas Samba Millennium is undoubtedly my favorite shoe off the Adsum footwear conveyor belt yet.
I honestly didn't think the adidas Samba could get any better. But alas, here we are.
