adidas Samba “Metallic Indigo” Shines for World Cup Summer

The countdown to the World Cup is already reshaping summer style, and few silhouettes are better positioned to capitalize than the adidas Samba. With global football fever building ahead of kickoff in North America, the world’s best-selling terrace shoe is expected to feature prominently on streets, in stadiums, and across social feeds alike. Now, adidas adds another head-turning option to the mix with the adidas Samba “Metallic Indigo.”

At first glance, this isn’t your traditional terrace staple. The adidas Samba “Metallic Indigo” trades its usual matte leather or suede build for a high-shine, chrome-like indigo upper that catches light from every angle. The deep blue finish wraps across the entire base, while tonal Three Stripes and matching navy laces maintain a cohesive, almost liquid look.

Underfoot, the pair sticks to its roots. A classic gum rubber outsole grounds the otherwise futuristic upper, preserving the silhouette’s indoor-football DNA. “Samba” branding remains stamped along the lateral side, while Trefoil logos appear on the tongue and heel, reinforcing the model’s heritage credentials while maintaining a modern execution.

The timing feels intentional. As the World Cup brings renewed attention to football culture across the continent, adidas continues to lean into the Samba’s crossover appeal — from pitch to pavement. The adidas Samba “Metallic Indigo” keeps the silhouette firmly in lifestyle territory while still nodding to its sporting origins.

No official release date has been announced for the adidas Samba “Metallic Indigo,” but pairs are expected to surface in the lead-up to summer’s festivities via adidas.com and select retailers.
