Details of Samba OG

Gender Men , Women

Adidas Samba OG is a model that you probably know, it is one of the oldest in the German brand's archive. First introduced in the 50s, it has since become an iconic sneaker, playing a prominent role in various urban subcultures. Some have used it for football, while others for running. Even today, it graces the feet of many, adding a touch of retro style to their fashion-forward looks.

Adidas Samba: true to its style

This model has been part of numerous collaborations, it has been dressed in the most extravagant materials, but when we talk about the OG version, we must do it with reverence. In this version, adidas has gone to great lengths to preserve all the details of the 1950s original, which primarily featured classic black and white colour combinations. To infuse a modern twist, the brand decided to reissue the best combinations from this model's extensive legacy in the adidas Originals catalogue.

General features and details of the adidas Samba OG

Starting from the ground up, the adidas Samba OG features the classic brown rubber sole, whose outsole pattern has graced numerous silhouettes from the German brand throughout its long history. The upper boasts a simple yet perfected construction, a skill adidas has honed over many years. It comprises high-quality synthetic leather, complemented by a suede toe cap reinforcement, which forms a distinctive "T" shape. The tongue is adorned with a blue label sporting the adidas Originals clover logo, perfectly representing the origins of this classic silhouette.

Adidas Samba: the goose that lays the German brand's golden eggs

The Adidas Samba has been a staple in my closet for as long as I can remember, along with the adidas Stan Smith, why? Because it's that one shoe that you know is a wildcard for all kinds of outfits.
What is it about these iconic shoes that appeals to me so much? Well, let me tell you.

What I like most about the adidas Samba

For me the most remarkable thing about the Adidas Samba is its timeless design. Its classic futsal shoe model and its three lateral stripes stylize the foot, making it slim and elegant for any occasion on a daily basis. Another thing I like most about the Samba is its comfort. Their leather is soft and smooth, which makes them fit the foot perfectly and makes walking with them comfortable.

What can you combine the adidas Samba with?

As I was saying, the Adidas Samba are incredibly versatile and can be worn with any type of outfit. Depending on the season or season of the year, you can combine them like this:

Winter

In winter, you can pair them with jeans of any shade and a wool sweater or oversized sweatshirt. Add a long trench coat or a wool coat to keep warm and give it a casual but elegant touch. The Samba colors I like the most for this season are:

Spring

The good weather is starting and with it you can show off your Adidas Samba even more. With chino pants or light jeans, combined with a basic t-shirt and a light bomber jacket or a denim jacket. Pastel tones and floral prints or sailor stripes are perfect for this time of the year, so dare to add a touch of color and textures to your look. The Samba colors that I like the most for spring looks are:

Summer

Summer is coming and with it the temperatures' rise, so we are going to take out our shorts, shorts, skirts and dresses from our winter closet and we are not going to take off the Samba all day. For those who like less is more, with a pair of denim shorts, a basic white t-shirt or linen shirt and some ankle socks you will have a basic but perfect look. In summer we usually dare with more color, so these Samba can be perfect:

Fall

That time of the year when you can have both sunny days and pleasant temperatures as well as rainy and cold days. As anything can happen during the day, you have to be prepared. With wide pants or a long skirt, combined with a sweatshirt or light sweaters you will have your perfect fall outfit. Earth colors like brown, olive green or mustard are perfect for this time of the year. Also, you can add a denim jacket or blazer to keep you warm on cooler days. These are the Samba colors that I consider perfect for fall:

When it comes to outfits, I think the Adidas Samba works especially well with any style. As always, a jean can be your go-to for any day, whatever the season. As I've already mentioned, they are a must-have in my closet and will remain one of my favorite shoes for a long time to come.
