adidas Proves That Miu Miu’ing a Samba Is All It Takes
In this day and age, a Samba is a Samba. Seriously, what iteration of the slim-soled sneaker hasn’t been shoved down our throats? That’s not to say there’s no appetite for them. In fact, even now, they’re still a damn good shoe.
Even better when the original version is cosplaying as a runway-ready Miu Miu. Feast your eyes on this luxe Samba OG.
From the back, this could pass for any other leather-drenched Samba. But from any other angle, this is more fun than any terrace has ever dared before. Proof something as small as chucking a few extra laces on a sneaker can make a whole world of difference. Suddenly, this is one intentional adidas sneaker.
Four different laces run throughout both shoes, all in different colors and textures, meaning there’s plenty to play around with. Leave them loose, tie them up, do whatever you want with them. The rest of the shoe keeps things relatively restrained, with classic Samba proportions and a low-slung profile letting the details take center stage.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen adidas and other big brands nab Miu Miu’s overachieving laces, and it certainly won’t be the last. Fair enough, really. It works.
