adidas Close the Book on 2023 With the Samba OG Pack

It’s still all about the adidas Samba. The 1949 classic silhouette was once destined for the shelf of yesteryear but the younger generations have plucked it back from obscurity, dusted it off, and inserted it into the Zeitgeist. adidas have been riding that wave, and there’s no shortage of new iterations to keep the hype up. The JJJJound and Kithmas variations are right around the corner, but the Three Stripes are closing the book on 2023 with a pack of four new colourways. The collection is united with a ‘Core Black’ motif among the other hues of ‘Putty Grey’, ‘Almost Yellow’, and ‘Silver Metallic’.

The standard Samba details can be found across all four styles, as premium leather and suede form the foundation and the esteemed ‘T’ toe box. The ‘Black/Wonder White’ and ‘Putty Grey/Black’ models maintain the sculpture’s signature glassy gum-sole unit and the ‘Black’ matches its namesake’s monochrome approach, while the ‘Black/Almost Yellow’ tooling features an aged and weathered amber tone for the sole unit.

The adidas Samba OG pack arrives in the four new colourways on December 15 at adidas.com for $100.

Here’s why the adidas Samba is still everywhere.
