Samba OG – Grey Five/Core Black

adidas reworks their star child Samba OG with a little nod to some of their Italian sportswear collaborators from seasons passed.

Undoubtedly inspired by previous collaborations with Stone Island and CP Company, the nylon-equipped Samba OG gives you something similar at a far-more democratic price point.

The upper features a unique thick and crinkly nylon that’s reminiscent of Stone Island’s famed metal nylon, giving a sheen to the sneaker whilst allowing it to mould and form to your foot in ways the classic leather wouldn’t. The traditional stripes are finished in reflective material—another nod to sportswear and useful if you want harness the Samba’s great properties as a cycling shoe.
