In the wake of the captivating reggae icon Bob Marley biopic, "One Love," Adidas taps into the zeitgeist with its latest homage to the musical legend: the "Reggae" pack featuring two distinct colorways of the Adidas Samba.
This timely release pays tribute to Marley's enduring legacy and highlights his lesser-known passion for football, a sport he loved and played in his downtime, often seen donning Three-Stripe gear.
The pack presents a sleek black and a crisp white version of the adidas Samba, each pair getting a vibrant makeover with the Rastafarian colors of green, yellow, and red adorning the medial Three Stripes branding. This tri-color detail reflects Marley's Jamaican roots and the Rastafarian culture that profoundly influenced his music and message. The careful balance in applying these colors ensures that each hue stands out while maintaining harmony with the overall design.
The homage extends beyond the stripes; each shoe features unique accents to celebrate Marley's impact further. Red outlines the yellow Adidas branding on the tongue, adding a pop of color that draws the eye, while green supports the back on the heel cup, grounding the design in the Rastafarian flag's colors. Maintaining the integrity of the classic Samba silhouette, both pairs are completed with an amber-colored gum sole, a signature element that fans of the model have come to love.
Available now via Up There, the Adidas "Reggae" Samba pack is expected to hit a wider audience soon with a release on adidas.com soon.
