"Aurora Ivy" Patent Leather Lands on the Adidas Samba

The Adidas Samba has had dozens of editions since its debut in 1949. In recent years, the silhouette has become a go-to option for it girls, leading the Three Stripes to reimagine the vintage football trainer in handfuls of fashion-forward makeovers.

Ahead of summer, the Adidas Originals staple has emerged with a patent leather upper. While not an all-new modification to the decades-old design, the glossy material returns with an "Aurora Ivy" update, firmly positioning the sneaker amongst summer and fall footwear rotations. Profile 3-Stripes, Achilles' heel panels, and sole units deviate in a "Core Black" tone. Samba text on the lateral profile introduce a "Silver Metallic" touch to the ensemble; the trefoil logo on the top of the tongue follows suit.

Enjoy official photos of the patent leather Originals style below. Pairs of the "Aurora Ivy" Samba are expected to land via Adidas.com by autumn.
