Dating back over 50 years, the adidas Samba has transitioned from the soccer field to the runway as the second best-selling sneaker for The Three Stripes. Following collaborations with Palace and partnerships with Clarks/Ronnie Fieg and Pusha-T, adidas is looking back to one of the popularizers of the model as Sporty and Rich have, according to House of Heat, three more colorways of the adidas Samba primed and ready.
Coming in the OG “Black White,” a “Cream Blue,” and “Blue Grey” colorway, Sporty and Rich elevates the model with premium materials like tumbled leather and suede. Things remain simple as the only major change comes in the form of the Sporty and Rich logo on the midfoot while the majority of the sneaker takes on a tumbled leather construction. Suede panels wrap around the toebox and act as a mudguard while accenting the rest of the sneaker on the OG “Black White” colorway. More accenting shades take over the Three Stripes logo, laces, and heel tab. Rounding out the look for all three pairs is a gum rubber midsole and outsole seen in a semi-translucent finish.
Also launching alongside the sneakers is a collection of clothing. Maintaining the Sporty And Rich aesthetic, the clothing pieces feature preppy sportswear-like silhouettes in color schemes that go perfect with the footwear.
The Sporty and Rich x adidas Samba Collection is set to release June 15 through adidas Confirmed and Sporty and Rich online. Coming in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $120.
