Adidas Samba

Adidas Samba, the other historical monument

In 1950, a historic monument with a Brazilian name was created. It's not the legendary enclosure of the Rio de Janeiro stadium, the Maracaña built that year, but a pair of sneakers designed by the German brand Adidas , the Samba . Since the beginning, Adi Dassler has designed products to help athletes push the limits of their performance with quality as an obsession. He therefore invented a new shoe with a thick rubber sole designed to stand up better on the icy football fields of Europe. The sneaker is made from the best possible material, kangaroo leather, and is released on the market in a simple black and white original design. We grant you, frozen ground, kangaroos and an OG color as fun as an early December morning in the suburbs of Berlin, we're not really at the carnival, but the Adidas Samba is just beginning its great journey .

An exceptional performance

It is indeed a pair of sneakers with a global destiny since it has become the second best-selling pair by the overseas equipment manufacturer. It is just behind the iconic Stan Smith and ahead of other iconic models like the Gazelle or the Adidas Campus .

After helping the players on difficult surfaces, it is the English football fans who put it on. They can therefore wear a touch of their team’s color every day. She continues her career on more intimate grounds, at the foot of futsal fans, far from the cheering crowd of the Maracaña.

Samba soon to be put into orbit?

As with the Campus , Adidas will release a model directly inspired by the slender line of the Samba, dedicated to skateboarding, the Adidas Busenitz, in collaboration with the famous Californian rider Denis Busenitz. It is versatile and adapts to all situations. Naturally, the street seized it and established the Adidas Samba as a reference in sneaker culture.

No megalomaniacal billionaire has yet sent his limited edition pair of sneakers into space. However, its trajectory is today stratospheric thanks to social networks and fashion stars who like to create Instagrammable looks by playing on the vintage side of the silhouette relaunched by Adidas in 2020. The most trendy models adore the almost century-old sneaker. This is the new dream life of Samba.

It crosses generations thanks to multiple collaborations and still enjoys phenomenal success today. Sneaker fans appreciate its retro silhouette, its sober look which leaves plenty of room for the three emblematic stripes of the German brand on the sides of the shoe. They also like the variety of colors which allow them to create vintage and current styles at the same time. At Graal Spotter, we have selected models for men and women for you.

We love the Samba OG Core Black , with its old-school side that takes us back to the roots of the history of this legendary shoe. The Samba OG Rush Orange brings the necessary kick to a summer wardrobe if you are more looking for modernity. Several versions finally pay homage to the top European football clubs such as Samba FC Bayern , Samba Arsenal or Samba Manchester . The Turin team ( Samba Juventus ) is nicknamed “the old lady”. This is a nickname that also sticks for the most historic sneaker designated by the brand with the three stripes. His age, however, is not a problem. Get ready to dance, because Samba never stops.
