Jordan Release Calendar

The adidas Samba took the sneaker world by storm a few years back, rehabbing the classic T-toe indoor soccer silhouette so much that it started selling out in basic black and white gum bottom colorways. Like the Dunk before it, the Samba hype has cooled off, but that doesn’t mean the model has disappeared, and as we dive into the new year, The Three Stripes is keeping the Samba energy up with a new Rainbow Rhinestone colorway.
The adidas Samba Rainbow Rhinestone is an ornate, decorative colorway that stands out in the inline catalog. Starting with silver rhinestones covering the T-toe, side panel Three Stripes, and heel tab, the rest of the upper is decked out in a multi-color mix of rhinestones blending greens, reds, blues, whites, and more.

The tongue, sockliner, and midsole are the only parts of the shoe that aren’t covered in jewels, and they add contrast in black. White adidas branding is added to the tongue, and small strips of black fabric separate the silver gems on the heel panel from the multi-color rhinestones beneath them. If you’re looking to bring some shine to your shoes this spring, this pair is definitely on your list.
The adidas Samba Rainbow Rhinestone will be released Spring 2026 through adidas and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $120. For all the latest adidas news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
