Adidas Wmns Samba OG 'cream White Sand Strata'

Released on 10 January 2024 and part of adidas's Samba line. This release has a leather upper in Cream White/Core Black/Sand Strata. The Samba was football equipment long before it was fashion. Adi Dassler drew it in 1949 so players could train on frozen, rutted ground, and the gum sole carried cut-out suction cups to keep them upright. It reached the pitch in 1950, slimmed into the lower, sleeker profile you recognise by 1972, then got adopted twice over: by English terrace crowds who wore it to match days, and by skaters and BMX riders through the nineties. More than 35 million pairs later it sits second only to the Stan Smith in adidas history. This women's pair takes the archive shape into a softer register: cream white leather, sand strata suede on the T-toe, core black stripes and collar. The Samba OG with the volume turned down.
