Men's adidas Samba

When you think of adidas’ captivating sneaker line-up, the Samba undoubtedly springs to mind. The legendary silhouette has graced city streets worldwide for over fifty years, first debuting on icy and snowy pitches at a 1950’s German football match. adidas utilised the FIFA World Cup taking place in Brazil and fittingly named the model the Samba. 

Having served athletes and becoming an emblem of football terraces, the Samba quickly evolved by the turn of the millennium. It was the T-toe front that gave the silhouette its distinctive look and shaped the Samba as ‘the’ sneaker of the moment. Although the upper has been remodelled to provide a slimmer fit with a modern sports-inspired look, the essence of the OG Samba remains. 

Leaning on the likes of Bella Hadid's unmatched trendsetting capabilities and the rise of YK2 trends, the Samba has, once again, become the streetwear essential that’s on everyone's wishlists. Enriched with nostalgia, discover a whole host of colourways, decked out with soft suede and leather uppers, dominated by the iconic 3-Stripes and adidas Samba insignia on the sidewalls. 

Ready for whatever the day brings, and keeping the Trefoil logo legacy alive in every step, the Samba lives on as a leading silhouette across communities and subcultures worldwide, with core colourways for both men and women available here at END.
