END. and adidas advance their friendship, teaming up once again for a new sneaker collaboration. After tackling the Forum and ZX 9000, the two plan to ride out together with the Velosamba.

For the two's latest collabo, END. and adidas explore the world of modern cycling, naturally going with the biking-focused Samba — that's the Velosamba, by the way — as their muse.

Dubbed "Social Cycling," END. and adidas' Velosamba arrives in two colorways inspired by classic cyclist refreshments: coffee and beer.

The first pairs — realized in Legend Ink, Team Coffee, and Black — speak to the rich, neutral hues of what the duo calls a "perfectly brewed cup of coffee."

Meanwhile, the second Velosambas arrives with a relatively clean white look, save the red heel tab and the bold Three-Stripes rendered varying greens — a nod to the beer bottles and their vibrant design.

Contrasting Three-Stripes has become a signature for END.'s adidas collaborations, as the same concept also appeared on its most recent Forum team-up.

Each Velosamba arrives with a suede upper — materials from Charles F. Stead tannery in Leeds — for an elevated feel. At the same, there are also reflective strips and a two-bolt cleat mount concealed within the sole for efficient pedaling without comprising the silhouette's understated look.

Velosamba branding rests above the Three-Stripes, while adidas and END. logos strike elsewhere for a smooth finish to the collaborative effort.

The END. x adidas Velosamba Social Cycling' pack will be released exclusively at END.'s website on April 29 (the brand allows fans to register for the drop as we speak).

Given the immense popularity of the Samba at the moment, I'd get to pedaling and act fast for those interested in copping.
