adidas Samba OG White Black Granite

When people think of adidas Samba trainers, this is the colourway that usually springs to mind. A shoe that bears the 3-Stripes and is so rooted in footballing history has now transformed into a streetwear icon thanks to a set of strong collaborations. Being simple and easy to wear is only part of the current success story that could have the silhouette soaring to new heights and more importantly, new feet. As this classic gears up for another strong year in 2024, there should always be a spot for this model in your wardrobe.

A perfect balance of black and white can be found on the shoe’s mostly leather upper. A suede toe box is a staple feature that helps split up the binary colour blocking. The dark gum midsole keeps it traditional, as does the tread below. Gold foil lettering sits parallel to the set of black 3-Stripes and reads “SAMBA”, a regal touch that runs throughout the model’s line-up. Unlike the older and more football-specific versions of the past, a shorter tongue has been used on this edition, sporting the iconic blue adidas tongue label that tucks in behind the set of flat laces.

Many subcultures have clung to this shoe thanks to its simple form, from adi-dads to skater kids, everyone needs a pair of white and black Sambas in the rotation.
