JJJJound, under the creative vision of Justin Saunders, has significantly impacted the world of fashion and footwear collaborations. The Montreal-based studio is now joining forces with adidas, one of the titans in the sportswear industry, for a highly anticipated release. While 2022 witnessed rumors and leaks of a possible adidas Samba collaboration, it was quickly clarified by Saunders that those pairs were not authentic. Now, official images by adidas show that a JJJJound x adidas Samba is on the horizon.
Continuing JJJJound’s minimalist design, the label’s Samba features a harmonious blend of off-white, black, and grey tones, striking a perfect balance between understated and elegant. Constructed in Germany, the upper of the JJJJound Samba is enveloped in off-white premium leather across the midfoot, heel, and eyestays, providing a rich texture and sophisticated look. Adding to the visual appeal is the grey suede on the toe's T-shaped overlay, giving the shoe a subtle contrast. The black accents on the tongue, iconic Three Stripes, and heel tab punctuate the design, offering a classic yet fresh aesthetic. Internally, the sockliner gets a yellow leather finish with more JJJJound and adidas branding stamped in black. Underfoot sits a gum rubber midsole and outsole.
Alongside the white-based pair, a Black colorway has also emerged and will be exclusive to JJJJound.
The JJJJound x adidas Samba OG Made in Germany Pack will release on March 27, 2024, through JJJJound and adidas online. Coming in men's sizing, retail is set at $250. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app for real-time updates on this release and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
