adidas has always been at the forefront of combining athletic performance with street-ready style, and the adidas Samba is a testament to this legacy. Initially designed in the 1950s as an indoor soccer shoe, the Samba has transcended its sports origins to become a staple in lifestyle sneakers. With 2023 marking a significant year for the silhouette through various colorways and collaborations, adidas continues to innovate by introducing new variants like the Samba XLG and Sambae. After the launch of the Black White and White Black colorways of the Samba XLG, adidas has prepped a Wheat rendition of the model.
The Samba XLG Wheat refreshes the iconic design focusing on premium materials and enhanced comfort. The upper is crafted from high-quality suede, bathed in a versatile palette of tan and wheat shades that evoke a sense of timeless elegance and rugged charm. The leather Three Stripes and heel tab add a touch of contrast in a slightly darker hue, creating a subtle yet impactful visual distinction.
The enhanced XLG construction also introduces a more robust build, including increased padding and an oversized tongue, offering improved support and a bold aesthetic. The silhouette is completed with a thick gum rubber sole unit, providing durable traction and a nod to the Samba's heritage on the soccer field.
The adidas Samba XLG Wheat will release in 2024 through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $110.
