adidas' Samba sneaker is a timeless classic. adidas' Samba Mary Jane sneaker is a smart, stylish take on a classic. adidas' Samba Mary Jane Ballet sneaker is a ton of trends mashed together into a new kind of classic.

Because, yes, you can't overdo the Samba shoe. It's just too classic.

The adidas Samba Jane Ballet is many things. A Samba sneaker. A mary jane. A ballet shoe.

And yet, it is one wild all-in-one design.

When you can fit a trio of trends onto one shoe and it still looks good, you know you've got a real deal sneaker smash on your hands.

adidas' Samba Jane Ballet shoe is exactly what it sounds like. To be specific, this is a mary jane verion of adidas' Samba sneaker with ballet-style ultra-thin laces that wind down the forefoot so as to make an already sleek shoe extra delicate. Demure but also downright delectable.

The mary jane-ified Samba is itself a fairly recent design, though it's only one of many recent and far-reaching Samba remixes to quietly debut as of late. Still, adidas' Samba Jane was clearly more advanced, design-wise, than several of its sibling sneakers.

And the adidas Samba Jane Ballet even wears the OG Samba colorway in white and black to boot. It's almost too classic. But not.

The adidas Samba Jane is already available on adidas' website for $100 and expect its wild new ballet mutation to arrive shortly thereafter.
