The adidas Samba OG Sneakers in Core Black / Cloud White take their name from the Brazilian dance and music tradition. Created in 1949 as a football boot to withstand icy conditions, they made their debut at the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Due to their versatility, collaborations, and old-school vibes, the Samba OG sneaker has become a staple of pop culture and one of the hottest silhouettes around. Features include a leather upper, leather lining, suede overlays, and a gum rubber sole. The adidas Samba OG originally came onto the scene in 1950 to protect soccer players’ feet from icy ground during winter. This 'Black Gum' iteration features a full-grain leather upper upgraded with tonal suede around the toe and heel, serrated Three-Stripes, a metallic foil logo, and a Bluebird tongue label for a vintage spirit. The rubber outsole provides traction with diverse tread.
