Since its inception in 1950, the Adidas Samba
The story of the Samba begins in post-war Germany, where Adidas founder Adolf "Adi" Dassler sought to create a shoe that could withstand the rigors of indoor soccer played on icy or hard surfaces. The result was a shoe that featured a unique gum sole for superior traction and a durable leather upper for protection and style. Little did Dassler know, his creation would transcend its original purpose and become a global phenomenon.
Over the decades, the Samba has been reinterpreted and re-released in countless colorways and collaborations, yet its core design remains relatively unchanged.
