Justin Saunders' label, JJJJound, is celebrated for its minimalist approach and ability to transform simple basics into high-end essentials. Collaborating with various giants in the footwear industry, JJJJound has consistently delivered no-frills yet highly coveted designs. After the success of their two colorways in the Made in Germany Samba line, JJJJound and adidas are back with a third Samba: the JJJJound x adidas Samba Mesa.
This latest release stays true to the brand’s ethos of understated elegance, offering a premium suede makeover of the Samba in earthy tones. Mesa hues cover most of the sneaker's panels, including the T-toe overlay, base layer, tongue, and eyestays. Darker brown shades accentuate the Three Stripes on the midfoot and the heel tab, providing a subtle yet noticeable contrast.
The lace set continues the earthy theme, blending seamlessly with the overall design. Notably, JJJJound branding replaces the usual Samba text on the lateral midfoot. Completing the look is a gum midsole and outsole, enhancing the vintage appeal of the sneaker.
In addition to the sneakers, JJJJound and adidas have crafted a collection of apparel and accessories to complement the release. The collection includes a nylon tracksuit, a soccer ball, a nylon bag, and a football jersey, each reflecting the same minimalist and high-quality design principles.
The JJJJound x adidas Samba Mesa will release on June 27, 2024, through adidas online. A drop via JJJJound will go down on June 25. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
