Adidas is making waves across the sports landscape, but at the end of the day, the German company was built on soccer (I know, I know, footy). The Three Stripes has pushed a handful of club collabs this year, and the latest teams up with Newcastle United for a crisp black and white pair ahead of next week's Premier League start.

Taking a classy approach to a classic shoe, the Newcastle United collaboration packs the upper with white leather, black on the three stripes and suede T-toe, and blue on the heel label, completed with the Newcastle club crest with hits of gold and blue as big as possible on the tongue.
Adidas has been putting out a steady stream of football (it just doesn't sound right, football players wear helmets, sorry) collabs all year, including a huge pack of club-branded Samba colorways for the FIFA Club World Cup and brand new pack of Gazelles honoring Liverpool, Man U, and Real Madrid.
Newcastle United kicks off the Premier League season against Aston Villa next Saturday, so you've only got a week to grab these Sambas to complete your opening day kit.
The Newcastle United x Adidas Samba was released August 7, 2025 through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $110.
