Wales Bonner authored a new chapter in the history of the adidas Samba by releasing her first collaboration in 2020, a milestone marker that has since been followed by other premium Sambas by her own hands, other high-fashion collaborators, and the in-house adidas design team itself. Now building on a catalog of luxurious pairs, adidas sends the Samba to Italy for a “Croc Skin” makeover.
Taken in all-black aside from white Three Stripes branding, the base and tongue feature crocodile leather that’s been hand-painted in a glossy, almost patent leather-like finish. Much like other Made In Italy Sambas that have surfaced in recent months, the craftsmanship on display here speaks to a high attention to detail and thoughtfulness. On top of the elevated croc skin base, cordovan leather makes up the heel panel and lining, enhancing the shoe’s premium feel even further.
adidas is set to release the shoes in Japan on June 7th for ￥55,000 (roughly $350), but we’ve yet to hear of a stateside drop date. Tap our Sneaker Release Dates page for updates while we keep our ears up for more info.
