Nothing is knocking the adidas Samba off its perch. Originally spurred into the public consciousness with the help of imprints like Wales Bonner, the on-pitch model has carried over collab energy into the mainline, often notching sell-outs of general releases. With the Cheetah Sambas paving the way, special edition make-ups of the shoe especially have our attention. Thus, we’re turning to the “Metallic Pack” adidas Samba LT, capitalizing on the shoe’s football origins.

Much like that animalistic two-piece, the two shoes here are unquestionably shaped in the image of Wales Bonner, which is already an influence in bringing this offshoot to market in the first place. The shining 2023 pair is particularly influential in these two GR counterparts. On top of reflecting the same “Long Tongue” soccer inspirations, the silver and gold Sambas also share a classic gum bottom, swapping between red and navy accent packages, respectively.

The adidas Samba LT “Metallic Pack” is expected to hit shelves for Spring/Summer 2025. Be ready for a $120 MSRP for either shoe upon arrival.
