First entering the culture generations ago as an indoor football boot, the Samba has cemented itself as one of the most omnipresent silhouettes in sneaker history. Giving the legendary low-top a tactile, seasonal update, the Three Stripes delivers the adidas Samba OG Burnt Sienna/Clear Sky.

After a couple of years where market saturation turned many casual heads off the model, the viral hype machine has finally settled down. Now that footwear trends seem to be moving on to the next bright, shiny, ballet flat-shaped thing, adidas is putting genuine craft and playful twists back into the icon, making it feel fresh all over again.

This release trades out standard flat leather for a hairy suede across the upper. The elevated, texture brings a premium touch that has us seriously considering pulling a fresh pair of Sambas back into the weekly rotation.

A deep Burnt Sienna upper sets an autumnal foundation, strikingly offset by Clear Sky powder blue laces and a dark Core Black sole unit.

Tactile hairy suede wraps the entire upper, complemented by smooth leather to the interior. Gold-foil Samba lettering lands along the lateral panel. Of course, a classic low-profile gum rubber cupsole retains the shoe's mid-century indoor football DNA underneath.

The adidas Samba OG Burnt Sienna/Clear Sky proves there is still plenty of life in the classic terrace model when executed with elevated materials. It might be time to get back on the Samba train, it feels like there might be more space now.
