adidas Made "Black Cat" Sambas
Good news for the sneakerheads who love both checks and stripes: adidas has designed a "Black Cat" Samba sneaker.
The new "Black Cat"-flavored Samba rolls off the adidas production belt bathed entirely in black tones, from its leathery interiors to its velvety-smooth suede uppers.
adidas also threw in gold branding on the tongue, bringing just a little shimmer and shine to the super-stealthy all-black sneaker.
For the uninformed, we've seen "Black Cat" Jordan sneakers and even Nike Air Force 1 Low shoes in recent months before.
This is because, the "Black Cat" colorway is a Swoosh thing.
However, there have been instances where other other brands have replicated the "Black Cat" energy with their own sneakers.
New Balance's premium blacked-out 1500 sneaker and these new Sambas are proof of shoe companies recently tackling the fan-favorite colorway, for instance.
The adidas shoe's official names aren't "Black Cat," of course, but their clean, stealthy appearances check the box.
It does beg the question, what even is "Black Cat?" The Nike colorway is blacked-out in homage to Michael Jordan's on-court prowess, of course, but it does make you wonder how close we can get without just calling a shoe "Triple Black" or, simply, "Black." But with so many of these shoe nicknames, this is a crowdsourced proposition that can never truly be predicted or understood.
For those seeking a sublimely suave single-hue shoe, adidas' "Black Cat" Samba sneakers are expected to launch sometime in the fall season on adidas' website. Expect them to drop for around $100.
