The adidas Samba has experienced a remarkable revival, becoming a favored choice among sneakerheads and dominating social media trends. This resurgence has led adidas to introduce various new versions and collaborations, such as the innovative Sambae and the much-anticipated project with JJJJound. January 2024 will mark another milestone for this iconic silhouette with the release of the adidas Samba OG Made in Italy Black Gum. This iteration elevates the classic design with luxurious materials and craftsmanship.
This special edition of the Samba OG showcases an understated yet elegant color scheme of black, tan, and gum. The upper predominantly features a rich black tone, crafted from premium Italian leather, exuding a sense of sophistication and quality. The sneaker's iconic T-shaped toe overlay is rendered in complementary suede, adding textural contrast to the smooth leather. Inside, the sneaker continues its luxury theme with a tan leather sockliner, enhancing both the aesthetic and comfort.
Classic branding elements for the Samba are thoughtfully executed. The midfoot boasts the Samba text in striking gold and blacked-out Three Stripes, while the tongue features adidas branding in crisp white. These accents preserve the sneaker's heritage and add a touch of opulence. Underfoot sits a gum sole unit, a timeless element that perfectly harmonizes with the sneaker's overall look.
The adidas Samba OG Made in Italy Black Gum will be released in January 2024, through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. While the retail price is yet to be announced, expect to pay a premium for this pair, considering its material usage and the fact it was manufactured in Italy.
