Adidas Brings the Bling with the Samba “Rhinestone”

Adidas continues to push the boundaries of luxury-inspired streetwear with the upcoming Adidas Samba “Rhinestone,” set for a Holiday 2025 release. While not officially tied to Swarovski — who have previously lent their crystal craftsmanship to Nike projects — this dazzling edition clearly channels that same energy, swapping minimalism for full-blown glamour.

The iconic silhouette arrives fully encrusted in shimmering black and silver rhinestones that cover nearly every inch of the upper, creating a sparkling gradient effect from heel to toe. Classic Three Stripes branding remains intact, outlined by the same crystal treatment for a unified look. Smooth black leather adorns the tongue and collar, bringing balance and refinement to the ornate design. Underfoot, the pair rests on a chocolate-brown gum sole — a grounding finish that nods to the Samba’s football heritage while maintaining its elevated aesthetic.

This release marks another example of Adidas blending its archival roots with contemporary flair, taking a silhouette that’s dominated by lifestyle fashion and giving it an unapologetically luxe makeover. Whether styled for the streets or a statement night out, the Samba “Rhinestone” proves that sparkle can coexist with classic sport DNA.

Expect the Adidas Samba “Rhinestone” to release during Holiday 2025 via Adidas.com and select retailers.
