However, it doesn’t let go of all of the leather though, as you’ll still find some on the lacing system and the serrated Three Stripe branding across the sidewalls. Down below, the ‘Preloved Ink’ sits on top of a navy rubber midsole, while the ‘Focused Olive’ throws it all the way back to the model’s football roots, complete with the same gum sole from the days of yore. The trainers are then finished off with “Adidas Samba” branding printed on the laterals, just in case you needed a little reminder.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year or so, you’ll know that the Samba is currently one of the most popular sneakers out there. According to fashion search platform Lyst, searches for them have spiked by 350 per cent, while Google has reported an increase of 300 per cent in the past couple of months alone. And with collabs from the likes of JJJJound coming in hot, this hype is going anywhere anytime soon.
The Adidas Samba OG ‘Nylon Pack’ is set to drop on January 15 at Adidas and select stockists globally for around £90 a pop.
