A Quick Look at the adidas Samba
The adidas Samba is a sleek, low-profile silhouette originally designed for indoor soccer. It features a soft leather upper with suede overlays at the toe and heel for added durability. A gum rubber outsole offers excellent grip and traction, while the lightly padded insole ensures everyday comfort.
The Samba has a classic, timeless aesthetic that is very easy to style and is popular with the recent retro resurgence.
