Palace Skateboards have revealed their upcoming Spring 2023 collection of clothing, accessories, trinkets, boards and, of course, shoe collaborations. Their long-standing partnership with adidas has netted them a trio of bespoke Sambas, a model on fire right now. However, a closer look at these pairs reveals an interesting twist.

The soles come from the adidas Puig, the signature skate shoe of Palace team rider Lucas Puig. As the full-throttle, all-caps product description on the Palace site reads:

‘I’VE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES IN LIFE
AND GLUEING THE LUCAS PUIG SOLE WE DESIGNED ONTO A SAMBA
WASN’T ONE OF THEM’

The execution sees the Samba OG upper in its usual leather and suede combo with some additional modifications. The tongue branding now sports the Palace ‘triferg’ logo, and their wordmark also appears on the side of the gum soles. Black and white plus white and black colourways refer to the stock standard Samba editions, but a third olive and gold option offers a lavish touch to the partnership.

The Palace x adidas Samba Puig hybrid will release on February 3 in the UK and US via Palace's retail and online stores. For customers in Japan and China, they'll have to wait until February 4 for a chance to cop.
