The adidas Samba With Its Own Crisp Jacket
The days are getting cooler, and even the Samba is bringing out its jacket. Yes, fall is here and even adidas' most classic sneaker is dressin'
adidas' Samba Decon returns for the Fall/Winter 2025 season with a new deconstructed take on the classic soccer shoe. Whereas previous Decon models leaned into the classic Samba look with small, collapsible tweaks, the latest is a new kind of Samba. Specifically, this one has a zipper.
The shoe's entire upper has been reworked, revealing a shiny new material underneath plus wider-than-normal adidas stripes. The real treat of this Samba Decon, however, is the leather zipper detail that covers the sneaker's the tongue and otherwise typical shoelaces.
Although Jeremy Scott was first to introduce the whole zipped-up Sambas idea, this new Samba Decon takes the concept to another level, giving the low-top model a full-on, crisp jacket for cool days.
Since the model's second coming, adidas has proved that the Samba can not only do it all but wear it all.
Luxurious croc skins from Wales Bonner? Did that. Cheetah print fur? That too, and went viral for it. Okay, what about denim? Yep, there are even Samba "jeakers."
Now, the adidas shoe's got its own fall jacket. And it looks pretty darn cool at that.
The first style of this type, the Samba Decon "Aurora Ruby" sneaker is now available exclusively through adidas' app but only for Korean users at the moment. Expect to pay 189,000 won, around $135, for the sleek sneakers.
And then, expect adidas to launch the zipped-up new iteration of its most popular shoe on the adidas website in due time.
If you're cold, they're cold. Zip 'em up.
