From frozen grounds, indoor football pitches and skate parks to movies, music scenes and urban environments. adidas Samba has experienced it all. Today it’s the epitome of a timeless classic with a significant, cultural impact.
This old school football silhouette was originally designed by adidas founder Adi Dassler in 1950 to provide traction on icy surfaces, but later this exact year people of the world would be tuning in to the FIFA World Cup in Brazil and what better place to make this innovation famous - regardless of the climate.
Hence the name “Samba”, rooted in the Brazilian dance and music genre. And famous it became. More popular than most of the successors, adidas Samba is over seven decades later an actual icon, making waves with its plush leather features, suede detailing, characteristic gold lettering and jagged 3-stripes.
Keeping a simple and clean design throughout the years, Samba is retro minimalism at its finest. And although Samba is still a favorite among indoor football players, the non-marking rubber sole has made its mark as an integrated part of popular culture.
The versatile low-top has become a fashionable streetwear classic and a must-have in any sneaker collection, perfectly suited for everyday wear.
