Ever since Bob Marley’s ‘Three Little Birds’ was played at half-time of a pre-season friendly between Cardiff and Ajax in 2008, the song has become synonymous with the Dutch club. After their fans sang along to the song in Wales, they brought it home with them and now sing it every match day. The tune has become so ingrained in the club’s culture that it has even worked its way onto the football club’s on-field kits. Their partnership with adidas has made that possible, and now they’re taking it a step further by offering fans a terrace trainer to go along with it: the Ajax x adidas Samba “Three Little Birds”
Honoring the reggae classic, the pair presents it Rasta hues of black, green, yellow, and red; the latter three making up the profile Three Stripes. The trio of hues returns again at the heel’s decorative three-bird motif, while red dominates the tongue’s oversized Ajax logo. Charcoal suede cap the toe, and the pair is completed with a classic dark gum rubber outsole.
