We’ve seen plenty of carefully curated golf shoes over the past few years, bringing retro icons, classic silhouettes, and streetwear collabs to the links as golf’s cool factor has risen. At adidas, the sportswear giant is catering to a new leisure sports lifestyle: bowling.

The adidas Samba Bowling Pack is the latest collection of lane-ready adidas silhouettes transformed into bowling shoes with split-level sliding soles. Sadly for stateside league rollers, the new collection follows the recent pack dropped exclusively in Japan through atmos, with no stateside drop on the schedule.

The second pair goes wild with black suede on the t-toe and leopard print on the Three Stripes and heel tab. Adding even more animal energy, a leopard print lace cover keeps it as classy as possible.

The adidas Samba Bowling Pack will be released May 1, 2026 through atmos Japan. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price on each pair is set at ¥33,000 (approx $205).
