Samba Millennium x NTS Radio – Core Black/Footwear White-Gum

adidas teams with London broadcaster NTS Radio to create a capsule of football-centric styles inspired by the German label’s sporting history.

Founded in 2011 by Femi Adeyemi the Hackney-based radio station was established ‘for an international community of music lovers’. In the 13-odd years since starting, NTS has garnered a dedicate following, all sharing a similar affinity for new music.

Originally released in 2009, the Samba Millennium never attempted to be a retro-inspired lifestyle silhouette and instead continued the shoe’s legacy as an indoor sports shoe. NTS Radio recaptures the sporting prowess with some football-inspired detailing across the uppers which harks-back to the boots which graced the field in the 2006 FIFA World cup.
