Jared Ebanks Once a staple on the pitch, the adidas Samba has been ushered into an upper echelon of lifestyle solutions from the German sportswear behemoth. Appearing at nausea in school hallways over the past two years, the 3-Stripes have decontextualized the low-top trim for a more fashion-forward construction.
As the new adidas Sambae begins to construct its burgeoning roster of ensembles, the platformed silhouette is also set to celebrate the holidays coinciding with its release schedule; having recently surfaced in a “Valentine’s Day” theme. From the smooth nubuck upper to the messy suede mudguard and the thick embroidery of the 3-Stripes, the near entirety of the upper real estate is cured in a single shade of “Ivory”. Set atop a clad-gum sole unit, the silhouette’s lesser-known embellishments are what anchor the colorway in cupid’s allure. Heart-shaped eyestays combine with “Pink Fusion” tongue tabs and decorative hearts at the insoles for a subtle connection the love-filled holiday.
The adidas Sambae “Valentine’s Day” is slated to release in January 2024 for a retail price of $110. In the meantime, the pair can be seen in first-look imagery ahead.
For more upcoming releases, the Nike Foamposite “Anthracite” arrives tomorrow, December 12th.
