Pharrell x adidas Samba Humanrace Night Grey

Pharrell explores the heritage of the Samba with this collaborative pair between Humanrace and German footwear brand adidas. Releasing as a pack of two, the “Night Grey” pair seeks to highlight the silhouette’s unique features with this simple colourway. Boasting minimal branding and quality materials, this Samba takes a vintage approach compared to the updated version.

The upper is predominantly constructed of a “Night Grey” premium leather, with a small suede panel on the toe the only form of contrast. Black zig-zag stitching sews the thick 3-Stripe panels down against the quality grain of the leather. The extended tongue found on OG iterations has also been restored, tying into the model’s footballing roots with its functional presence. A set of waxed laces can be found threaded throughout the eyestays, the aforementioned tongue giving you the option to cover them as you please. The branding here is even more minimal than on the “Beige Black” pair, as both the adidas and Humanrace lettering is embossed instead of using the foil lettering seen on other adidas releases. Like the rest of his collaborations, Pharrell has let authenticity and quality design tell the story behind the pair, drawing in both new and old fans of the Samba alike.

If you are planning on adding these to the collection then make sure you tune into The Sole Supplier for more updates on the Pharrell x adidas Samba Humanrace in the “Night Grey” colourway.
