adidas 3Way Consortium – Sneakersnstuff (SNS) x Samba

To say Sneakersnstuff were having a ‘purple period’ when they sat down to rework the Samba would be an understatement. The training shoe model that’s amassed a devout following from terraces to skte to the everyman just seems to gather momentum decade-by-decade, and with the Nordic team’s decision to alter materials to incorporate a rubberized fabric and heavy amounts of mesh on the upper, means the shape is uniquely bolstered. The colourway, added to this forked-toe favourite makes it even more versatile, with accompanying patterned laces offering a whole-new appearance, while the handwritten tongue lettering and gold embroidered ‘SAMBA’ cut through the monotone perfectly without intruding on the intentionally stark redesign.
