adidas SAMBA OG -KICKS LAB. EXCLUSIVE-

Designed by Adi Dassler, founder of adidas, and first sold in 1949, these soccer shoes were originally intended for use on slippery outdoor pitches. They gradually gained popularity as indoor soccer shoes, and are now worn all over the world, including on the streets and runways. The name SAMBA is said to come from the representative Brazilian music, samba, as Brazil is the host country of the FIFA World Cup, which is held every four years.

This exclusive model, which will be released by the premium sneaker boutique ＜KICKS LAB.＞, which spreads Japanese sneaker culture from Harajuku to the world, faithfully inherits the original silhouette and features a simple material design that makes use of the strong grip and driving force of the rubber that is characteristic of the SAMBA OG, the sturdy full-grain leather and suede of the cup sole and upper, and a navy textile lining. The royal blue suede three stripe accent is impressive, but the dark indigo on the heel and lining creates a well-balanced and tight color scheme. It combines seasonal appeal and orthodoxness that is different from the standard black and white, and has a modern and classic atmosphere.
