The Adidas Samba Millennium is Available Now in OG Colors

The Adidas Samba has consistently reinvented itself, maintaining its appeal through various line variants that share its core design DNA. Now, the Samba Millennium, a variant that often flies under the radar, is poised to break into the mainstream in 2024.

Historically, the Samba Millennium has been more sport-adjacent, primarily found in soccer retail spaces since its debut in the early 2010s. This positioning shifts from the original Samba, which has long transcended its soccer roots to become a versatile streetwear icon. The tide is turning, though, as the Millennium variant gains more attention from adidas. A recent collaboration with Adsum has re-introduced this silhouette to a broader audience, signaling a renewed interest in its potential beyond the pitch.

The Samba Millennium retains the classic aesthetic of its predecessor but modernizes it with a sleeker profile and updated tooling. Notable changes include replacing the original's ridged tongue and heel detailing with stitched EQT logos, lending a more refined look. The design is further enhanced by a sport-ready EVA midsole equipped with torsion plates, improving performance and durability.

This revival will see the release of new colorways, including "Core Black" and "Cloud White," which feature inverse coloring on their uppers but consistent gum outsoles, linking them back to the Samba's heritage.

Both pairs are available now via Early Access on Adidas.com; A wider release is expected on May 2nd.
