This Is Probably the Cleanest adidas Samba Ever Designed
The past couple of years have seen adidas release countless Sambas, including several good-looking pairs and notable collaborations. But the latest versions are seriously clean.
It's essentially the staple "Core Black" sneaker, but better. The Samba "Core Black/Gum" sneaker features creamy black leather uppers and interiors, plus a signature smooth suede T-toe and gum rubber sole in beige.
It's a super straightforward, no-frills take. But the Samba looks incredibly good with the subtle luxe-level touches.
At the peak of the Samba craze, adidas was dropping new Samba sneakers almost every day, it seemed, from OG long-tongue looks to Mary Jane transformations to those sought-after cheetah pairs.
At one point, adidas even turned the Samba into a snakeskin boot.
The more adventurous efforts have been a fun ride, but there's nothing wrong with going back and perfecting the basics. And adidas did just that with this sleek gum-soled Samba.
Speaking of which, the adidas Samba "Core Black/Gum" sneaker is now up for grabs on the brand's website for $100.
