Look what you’ve started, Grace Wales Bonner. Surely the credit (or blame, depending on your point of view) for the ongoing animal print moment should go to more than one source, but especially through the lens of the Three Stripes, it’s impossible not to think of the Brit and her eponymous imprint. Nothing is stopping that runaway train for the German giant some four years after her first snakeskin Samba hit public hands, as another colorful play on the motif comes to light.

With animal kingdom inspo now dotting everything from loaferized tech runners to performance mile-eaters, it’s safe to say that we’ve seen our fair share of true-to-life snakeskin variations. adidas advances the concept on this latest Samba edition by spinning into far-flung parts of the color wheel, utilizing some eye-catching finishes for a scaly turquoise foundation that shines pink in the light. Those same two tones pace the rest of this shoe’s surface area for a profile that’s ultimately complementary despite the unexpected combo, before a solid gum sole closes this one out.

The adidas Samba “Teal Snakeskin” hits adidas.com on September 15th at 3 AM ET, clocking in at $120. We’ll have direct pick-up links stocked within our “Where to Buy” widget below upon release.
