Updated September 5th, 2024: A release date for the black colorway has been confirmed for September 27th, 2024.

Updated August 19th, 2024: Official images have landed of the adidas Samba “Dia de los Muertos” in black as well as revealing a pair in white. While the lighter version is essentially a palette swap that plants off-white where black was and vice versa, the new colorway also features an updated Calavera emblem on its tongue. Catch these fresh shots of both shoes included after our original breakdown, included just below.

Original article posted August 19th, 2024: Even at this early stage, we’ve begun to get a steady stream of Halloween-centric releases (the Nike Ja 2 “Nightmare” & Jordan 1 Low “Black Cat” perfect examples.) It follows, then, that a holiday just a few days later should get some “first look” love. The Three Stripes are rolling out a special edition collection for Dia de Los Muertos this year, highlighted by an eccentric take on their dominant adidas Samba.

The tongue tag begins a heavy dose of commemorative touches, depicting a Calavera character replete with a top hat and classy floral wear. The exposed stitching that outliens the forefoot and heel match that sugar skull detail, a given with how synonymous they are with the Mexican holiday. The eyestays are broken up into bone-like patches to accomplish the same goal, and their extension at the top two laces cedes space for embroidered flowers. A gum bottom completes the design underfoot, and with how much of an influence black & white hav eon this design, it allows this eccentric edition to stick relatively close to the Samba’s most iconic looks.

The adidas Samba OG “Dia de Los Muertos” drops this September, retailing for $120.
