Adidas Samba WTR Elevates the Classic with a Winterized Rebuild

A winterized yet sophisticated take on a piece of football history, the Adidas Samba WTR transforms the terrace staple into a season-ready silhouette. Drawing inspiration from the brand’s 1970s leisure archive, this updated version seamlessly blends heritage styling with utility-driven upgrades.

Underfoot, the shoe features a durable tooling system borrowed from classic outdoor designs of the era, ensuring traction and resilience in colder months. Up top, the familiar Samba DNA is refined with premium suede constructions, bolstered by a no-sew rubber t-toe overlay and heel cap for added protection against the elements.

Other functional upgrades include metal eyelets, a textile lining for warmth, reflective detailing at the heel piping, Three Stripe branding, and laces — all enhancing visibility in low-light conditions. These thoughtful changes preserve the low-profile identity of the original Samba while injecting it with modern-day practicality.

The Adidas Samba WTR is expected to arrive over the Fall 2025 season in a wide range of colorways.
