The adidas Samba has somehow managed to make "clay" look luxe.

The newest Samba isn't exactly made from clay. It's simply the name of the newest faded green colorway.

The "Clay" Samba not only presents a clean tonal look but also premium materials. Specifically, the model is wrapped in high-quality leather throughout, resulting in a satisfying sea of subtly textured and smoothed-out moments.

The adidas Samba can pretty much do it all, from rocking a suit and tie to stripping down to the basics (and still looking quite good).

We've even seen other premium Sambas made of "cardboard" (not literally, of course).

Time for elegant pairs made with "clay." Again, not literally.
