There were rumours that we might be getting a second Molly-Mae collab sometime soon, but we weren’t expecting it this week. Molly-Mae and adidas Originals just announced a surprise drop of her second Three Stripes release, and it’s another Samba.

Building on her first collaboration with adidas which included the sold-out matcha-coloured Samba and latte-coloured Superstar II, Molly-Mae returns with a new Samba in a grey colourway. Slate takes on a minimal grey palette with a canvas and suede upper, off-white three stripes, the signature gum sole, and the double-laced system she used in her previous collab, this time in off-white and grey laces.

“The response to my first footwear collection with adidas was something I’ll always be incredibly proud of,” Molly-Mae said on the release. “Seeing people embrace the designs and incorporate them into their own wardrobe made the partnership feel even more special. Coming back to the Samba for a second time feels like a natural next step, giving me the opportunity to build on what we curated for SS26 while bringing a new, seasonal perspective to an icon I genuinely love. The Samba Slate has a timeless appeal that makes it the perfect addition to an autumn wardrobe, and I can’t wait to see how people wear it.”

The adidas Originals x Molly-Mae Samba Slate drops on Friday 23 October at adidas.co.uk, adidas stores and select retailers.
