Balletcore is no longer just TikTok hype in 2025. Soft colors, elegant lines, flat soles, and low-profile footwear have emerged as a frontrunner in women’s fashion. adidas has been ahead of the game for months now, and again, they’ve proven their dominance in this space with the Samba Jane.
Ready to buy? Here's everything you need to know about this balletcore must-have.
The Perfect Marriage of Sport and Ballet

The adidas Samba Jane combines the best of the current women's footwear zeitgeist, merging the iconic soccer shoe with the feminine charm of Mary Jane styling.
The design is deceptively simple as signature design details from the Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber-approved Samba, like the T-toe overlay, Samba text on the midfoot, serrated Three Stripes, and of course, the gum rubber midsole and outsole remain.
However, the traditional tongue and lacing are replaced with a Velcro strap. This creates the perfect slip-on convenience that Mary Jane lovers crave while maintaining the sporty DNA that made the original Samba a global phenomenon.
