The World Cup is coming to Canada, the US, and Mexico this summer, and it's bringing a blitz of exclusive products in collaboration with national soccer federations around the globe, especially from the terrace culture favorites at adidas. Jamaica is in the middle of a play-in tournament for a spot in the global tournament, and to celebrate The Island’s music and soccer culture, The Three Stripes is teaming up with The Bob Marley Foundation and the Jamaica Football Federation for a collection of sneakers and clothing under the banner Football is Freedom.
The latest pair from the Bob Marley x adidas collection is a classic Samba with a black leather T-toe and lace panel leading to allover print canvas side panels, featuring the same red, green, and black decorative graphic designs we saw on the collab SL 72 from the pack. The Three Stripes branding, heel panel, and sockliner are all yellow, with a portrait of Bob on the tongue alongside his quote, “Football is Freedom.” A Jamaica Football Federation keychain hangtag rounds out the colorway.
In addition to the Samba, the Bob Marley x adidas collection features two pairs of the new Evo SL running shoe, a Gazelle Indoor, Handball Spezial, and a clothing capsule featuring soccer gear, track suits, and graphic tees.
The Bob Marley x adidas Samba will be released February 13, 2026 through adidas and select European retailers in-store and online, with no release date for the States on the calendar quite yet. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is still TBD. For all the latest adidas collab news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
