Korean retailer Kasina has long collaborated with adidas, creating standout designs that resonate with sneakerheads globally. Their partnership takes a significant stride forward with Kasina’s take on the adidas Samba, a highly anticipated release following Kasina's participation in adidas' prestigious Consortium Cup in 2023. This special edition of the Samba is part of a more extensive collection that includes contributions from other notable retailers such as Sneaker Politics, Nice Kicks, Extra Butter, and BSTN, showcasing a fusion of creativity and heritage in sneaker design.
The Kasina x adidas Samba Consortium Cup is a testament to Kasina's meticulous approach to design and adidas' commitment to collaborative innovation. This rendition of the Samba seamlessly blends luxury and sportswear aesthetics, featuring a harmonious mix of premium leather and hairy suede. The sneaker is draped in soothing grey hues, dominating the suede components, including the iconic Three Stripes, eyestays, and the toe box. The base layer is crafted from creamy leather, exuding a sense of understated elegance while providing contrast.
Vibrant yellow accents punctuate the design, appearing on the co-branded tongue and heel tab, injecting a dash of color that highlights the sneaker's dynamic profile. Kasina's influence is further evidenced by the inclusion of its distinctive floral logo, delicately placed on the lateral heel and the insole, symbolizing the fusion of Kasina's unique aesthetic with adidas' timeless design language. Completing this sophisticated rendition is the classic white Samba midsole and outsole, ensuring comfort and style.
The Kasina x adidas Samba Consortium Cup will release November 22, 2023, through Kasina, adidas, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $130. Keep updated with the latest sneaker news and releases by downloading the Sole Retriever mobile app.
