The adidas Samba LT ‘Metallic Pack’ Is the Fanciest Sneaker for Football Fans

Remember being a kid hunting for the perfect pair of football boots? Chances are, you went straight for the shiniest pair you could find. That’s the exact spirit behind the upcoming adidas Samba LT ‘Metallic Pack.’

Unlike the more understated Samba LTs we’ve seen so far, the ‘Metallic Pack’ doesn’t hold back. Available in two bold colourways: ‘Silver Metallic’ and ‘Gold Metallic’: these kicks are polished to perfection. Each pair features contrasting accents, with the silver version highlighted by ‘Preloved Ruby’ details, while the gold iteration leans on clean ‘Core Black’ for balance.

True to the LT name (which stands for “Long Tongue”), an extra long tongue sits atop the laces, adding a retro football aesthetic. The iconic Samba branding is stamped along the lateral sidewalls, ensuring everyone knows you’re rocking a legend. To top it all off, grippy gum rubber midsoles provide both style and practicality.

Football inspired shoes are shaping up to be one of 2025’s hottest trends. Don’t believe it? Just check out Pharrell Williams’ Louis Vuitton Footprint for proof.

But instead of creating an entirely new football sneaker, adidas has chosen to reimagine one of its most iconic five a side shoes. Fun fact: the Samba, first introduced in the 1940s, was originally designed for indoor football. With the ‘Metallic Pack,’ adidas brings this classic full circle.

The adidas Samba LT ‘Metallic Pack’ is vailable via adidas, the Confirmed app, and select retailers worldwide for £100 each.
