This Premium-Built Adidas Samba is Made in Italy

A timeless classic in the world of sneakers, the Adidas Samba has recently seen a resurgence in popularity. Its iconic status and a wave of new interpretations and collaborations have reaffirmed its place in the current sneaker market. To kick-start 2024, Adidas is giving the one-time soccer trainer a premium overhaul with a new Made In Italy iteration.

Crafted with attention to detail and quality, this special edition of the Samba OG features an elegant and understated color palette of black, tan, and gum. The upper is made from premium Italian leather in a deep black shade, offering a sophisticated and refined look. Adding to the design's textural diversity, the shoe's iconic T-shaped toe overlay is executed in a complementary suede.

The sneaker's interior continues the luxury theme with a tan leather sock liner that not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also ensures superior comfort. The Samba maintains its classic elements with a modern twist. The midfoot features the Samba text in an eye-catching combination of gold and black, while the Three Stripes are presented in a sleek, blacked-out design. The tongue of the sneaker is adorned with adidas branding in crisp white, standing out against the black leather. Completing the look is the iconic gum sole unit, a signature feature of the Samba since day dot, while a subtle nod to Italia is delivered on the heel stitching in the nation's trio of hues.

Set to release on Adidas.com on January 15, 2024, the Adidas Samba OG Made in Italy "Black Gum" is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Samba, combining classic design with luxurious materials and fine Italian craftsmanship.
