The adidas Samba, often hailed as Europe's answer to the iconic Air Jordan, initially emerged in 1950 with a clear purpose: to provide soccer players with exceptional grip on icy pitches. Fast forward to the present day, and this timeless silhouette has garnered a following among cyclists. To pay homage to these athletes, adidas introduced a redesigned version of the Samba in March 2019. This edition boasts a high-quality leather upper, laces with reflective properties, a tongue designed to keep elements at bay, a water-repelling suede toe, and, an added touch, a city map graphic on the sockliner. A true fusion of fashion and functionality, the adidas Samba remains a beloved choice for athletes across different disciplines.
