Matt Varga Updated July 14th, 2025: An “Early Access” launch for the Clipse x adidas Samba has started on letgodsortemout.com, likely assigned to those who have purchased merch or an album package in the lead-up to the LP. Retail is set at $140 — sign in on the site to see if you’ve been selected. Otherwise, a wider launch is expected to follow sometime soon.
Clipse have been putting on a clinic during the rollout for their reunion album, “Let God Sort ‘Em Out.” While the music itself has been of incredible quality and high-profile flare ups with everyone from Def Jam Recordings to Travis Scott have made headlines, it’s been a wave of merchandise that’s clearest crossed their efforts into our realm. Following link-ups with frequent footwear faces like Pharrell, KAWS, and VandyThePink, the brother duo are now taking matters into their own hands, letting loose initial images of a Clipse x adidas Samba.
Revealed here by Pusha T himself, this design meets an off-white base with purer flares through the laces and serrated Three Stripes branding, finished with co-branded adidas/Clipse spell-out text towards the heel and “Thorn” logo on the “Long Tongue” section, likely derived from the brothers’ surname (Thornton.) Though this would mark the first link-up between the newly-reformed duo and the German giant, it continues as another step in the storied Pusha T x Three Stripes partnership that’s stretched back all the way to 2011, around the start of his solo arc.
Peruse that deep register and you’ll find that this sort of coloring has been a hallmark of his output, despite the tight needle adidas threads in connecting Pusha T’s… energetic subject matter to their core products. Interestingly, this adds closure to one of Terrence’s personal loose ends, an alternate colorway of the same “Thorn” concept at hand first revealed at Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2023.
No release info accompanied this teaser shot, but it’d make the most sense to capitalize on buzz around the duo’s album with this release. Thus, expect further clarification on when to expect the Clipse x adidas Samba as “Let God Sort ‘Em Out” nears closer, currently set to drop on July 11th.
