The Seven Best adidas Sneaker Releases This Week
Not every great sneaker release has to reinvent footwear. In fact, adidas seems to be at its strongest when it doesn't. While every other brand is busy chasing the next viral trends or shocking collaboration, the Three Stripes continues to expand on their world of performance and design. From terrace classics to futuristic runners and streetwear favorites, they're all part of the same conversation now.
In this instalment of our our weekly lineup of adidas releases, find proof that adidas offers great design week by week. From a psychedelic baseball sneaker to a teddy-fur-covered Stella McCartney collaboration and a deconstructed Samba, this week was so full of standouts we picked... seven of them.
Please note: Some sneakers may sell out at speed.

CLOT Samba By Edison Chen Trainers
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: The lowest-profile Samba to date. Canadian-born, Hong Kong-based Chen is back collaborating with adidas on the CLOT Samba. Retaining all the familiar features of the icon, Chen takes the Samba to the next level by leaning into its low-profile silhouette with premium materials and a textured espadrille sole. An elevated icon done right. What’s not to love?
adidas by Stella McCartney Sportswear 76
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: Back with a playful take on the ’76 classic, Stella McCartney goes fluffy with this avant-garde collaboration. Built on the low-profile silhouette of the athletic Sportswear 76 sneaker, McCartney leans into the weird and wonderful with a charcoal version fully covered in teddy fur. Suitably weird, incredibly cool, and perfect for autumn.
Japan Decon Shoes
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: Low-profile, autumnal, and fun, the Japan Decon is a heritage shoe rooted in the adidas archive, now back in a chilled brown colorway. Partially inspired by the Wales Bonner collaboration, adidas leans into the popularity of playful design with four lace options that leave plenty of room for personality.
H Kuomori x adidas Hyperboost Edge Shoes
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: A collaboration born from Mexico City’s running scene, the H Kuomori x adidas Hyperboost Edge is built for both performing at altitude and the Saturday run club. Its understated design hides a wealth of adidas running technology: a breathable mesh upper sits atop a Boost+ sole that can handle the distance. Built for city streets, this running sneaker is maximalist in tech but minimalist in design.
Samba OG Shoes
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: From leopard print to pony hair, it was only a matter of time before the Samba OG arrived in snakeskin. Rendered in maroon and Blue Dawn, the colorway is pared back to let the materials do the talking. Built with all the familiar premium features we expect from a Samba, this brand-new take on the icon proves that you don’t need a flashy collaboration to turn heads.
Glenburn x Daewon Shoes
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: Known for finding creative solutions in the simplest setups, Daewon Song brings his Skateboarding Hall of Fame energy to this collaboration. The understated design is filled with subtle nods to his Korean roots and skateboarding legacy. From its vulcanized sole unit to its suede toe box, the Glenburn is built to withstand 100 kickflips. It’s rare to see a collaboration put through its paces like this, so consider that a significant co-sign.
Adizero Impact Turf Trainer Shoes
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: Who would have thought the most psychedelic runner of the year would be a baseball shoe? The Adizero Impact Turf was designed for putting in hard hours on the mound. But with Lightstrike cushioning, plenty of grip, and an exciting colorway, it’s every bit as suited to the street as any buzzy collaboration. Whether you’re a grade-A pitcher or just throwing a fit, there’s something undeniably exciting about the Adizero Impact Turf.
