In a renewed partnership that blends high fashion with classic sportswear, Dover Street Market (DSM) and adidas are set to unveil their latest collaboration, reimagining the iconic Adidas Samba. This collaboration comes after their successful partnership on the Stan Smith in 2020, further solidifying the strong relationship between the two brands.
The new Dover Street Market x Adidas Samba maintains DSM's minimalist and conservative design aesthetics tradition. Dressed entirely in black, the sneaker exudes an understated elegance that's synonymous with DSM's branding. The collaboration introduces a subtle yet impactful twist with the DSM logo featured on one tongue, while the other sports the traditional adidas logo, offering a unique take on discreet and distinctive branding.
Apart from this nuanced branding detail, the sneakers retain the classic Adidas Samba silhouette and design, with the all-black theme extending to the Three Stripes on the sides. This conservative approach is a testament to DSM's philosophy of focusing on quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design, ensuring the sneakers can seamlessly integrate into any wardrobe.
Set for an exclusive release at the Felix Art Fair in Los Angeles, where Dover Street Market is expected to have a significant presence, the collaboration is among the highlights of DSM's offerings. Alongside the Samba, DSM has announced a range of 1-of-1 collections, exclusive items from renowned designers such as Rick Owens and Total Luxury Spa, and a special Comme des Garçons pop-up.
While the Adidas Samba by Dover Street Market may initially debut as a limited release, it is implied that pairs will see a wider release on DSM channels. Expect more details to follow soon.
