We're only three months into 2024, and it's already shaping up to be one of the best years for the Adidas Samba. Following the release of some mad collabs in February (we're looking at the ones from Kader Sylla and Wales Bonner), March is kicking off with the not-so-mad Adidas Samba ‘White Leather’ Pack. But even though it's all very simple and all very clean, it's probably still going to sell out. Why? Because the Samba is still absurdly popular despite the homogeneity and the peak saturation. There's always space for one more pair.
The ‘White Leather’ Pack is basically the classic ‘Cloud White’ colourway (a set beloved by the likes of A$AP Rocky and Benson Boone) now decked out in a trio of different accents. The first pair features ‘Collegiate Green’ across the Three Stripes and heel badge, while the second and third opt for ‘Collegiate Burgundy’ and ‘Night Indigo'.
The uppers of each sneaker are crafted from all-white leather that's meant to look – and feel – extra luxe. The light grey suede toebox also makes a comeback here, as well as the “Samba” branding that's debossed across the lateral sidewalls in a metallic gold. However, unlike the classic ‘Cloud White,’ the ‘White Leather’ Pack drops the brown rubber midsole in favour of the OG full gum unit instead – a nice nod to the silhouette's old school football roots.
The Samba is becoming more and more hyped by the minute. According to fashion search platform Lyst, searches have spiked by 350 per cent over the past year alone, while Google has reported an increase of over 300 per cent in the last few months. And with mega collabs from the likes of JJJJound and Lionel Messi still to come, that hype is here to stay.
The Adidas Samba ‘White Leather’ Pack is available now at Adidas, the Confirmed app, and select shops globally for £90 each.
