Adidas Samba OG Collegiate Green

The Adidas Samba, born in 1949, was the brainchild of Adi Dassler, designed initially to aid footballers in their training sessions on icy, unforgiving terrains. The shoe's inception was closely tied to the aspirations of the Adidas founder, who sought to create footwear that provided superior grip and support in adverse conditions. The name 'Samba' was strategically chosen to resonate with the vibrant culture of Brazil, coinciding with the 1950 FIFA World Cup, aiming to capture the South American market's attention and affection.
