The History Of The Adidas Samba

Today, we'll teach you about the Samba, one of adidas' most popular sneakers. In fact, the Samba is in second rank overall, trailing only the adidas Stan Smith (who knew?).

The adidas Samba is now not just the company's second best-selling model, but also a shoe classic with a long history.

The model was created by none other than Adi Dassler, the creator of adidas, in 1949. Birthplace: The Adi Dassler adidas sports shoe factory, which was only registered as a business in the same year.

The Samba was created with players in mind, specifically for playing football on ice surfaces. The goal was to be able to play the Samba to its full potential on both hard and extra-slippery surfaces. And how do you do it? With a rubber sole that provides excellent traction.

Adi Dassler's sports shoe manufacturer has taken on a challenge in the sports world and developed an appropriate solution, in keeping with the goal.

As a result, the adidas Samba was created. A kangaroo leather shoe with a unique rubber sole for excellent traction. The initial iteration of the Samba was made of black leather and featured the brand's now-famous three stripes on the side. They were made entirely of white.

This was complemented by gold adidas branding, which can still be found on many modern Samba styles. The light brown rubber sole has more than just utilitarian qualities. It was also aesthetically striking, distinguishing the Samba from other adidas models at the time.

What about the name? Many of you are undoubtedly familiar with Samba as a dance and music genre, and you are correct! The 1950 World Cup was set to take place in Brazil, a country famed for samba and carnival, a year after the shoe was introduced. adidas wanted to show off their sneaker there, and they settled on the name only before the event.

In fact, when the German national football team won the 1954 World Cup, they wore cleated shoes identical to the Samba style. As a result, the shoe paved the way for models such as the Kaiser 5 and other adidas sneakers and football boots.

This Nike Waffle One Is Inspired By The Air Max 1 "Curry"

Image
The Waffle One is without a doubt one of Nike's most innovative new designs, bridging the gap between vintage and current style. The shoe's second appearance will feature a color scheme inspired by the popular Air Max 1 "Curry." The colorway bears a lot of parallels to the aforementioned, albeit it isn't quite uncanny in its likeness. To begin with, the color combination of "Cider" and "Twine" closely matches the food-inspired hue; they're even balanced out in a similar way, with white and its creamier offshoots adorning the Swoosh and sole adjacent. Furthermore, there is a hint of blue on the upper, though it is much more subdued here. This Curry-inspired Nike Waffle One gets an official look right here. Within the next few months, sizes should be available on Nike.com and at select stores. Nike Waffle One "Curry" Release Date: 2022 Color: Cider/Twine-Lemon Drop-Light Bone-Game Royal-Pollen Mens: $120 Style Code: DO2380-200

Bootleg Bapestas Are Back From Bape And Reebok

Image
Isn't there such a thing as too much of a good thing? The two are back in action with a new set of collaborative Reebok designs, picking up where last year's collaboration left off. They are two well-worn BAPE models, so there's not much new ground being broken here, but these are among of the cleanest colours the pair has done to date. BAPE and Reebok's latest low-top, like the previous Club C, has the iconic star on the medial side and "BAPESTA" branding on the heel, making it a good alternative to the chunkier OG original. It's a little amusing to see a shoe inspired by the AF1 given new life atop one of Reebok's court shapes, but it's a better appearance for the all-white design, shaping up to be a little cleaner than a traditional pair. A new Instapump Fury has arrived. It's no surprise that BAPE is bringing back the bulky runner, which has been a perennial best-seller in Japan. It's also no surprise that the sneaker comes in three dif...

It Doesn't Get Any Sweeter Than This For The Nike Dunk High "Chocolate"

Image
Since its comeback in the shoe business, the Nike Dunk has had a plethora of colorways. Sneakerheads all over the world have enjoyed a variety of colorways with themed features over the last two years, some in commemorative designs and others that are just plain simple and lovely. And while we're on the subject of sweets, the Nike Dunk High "Chocolate" just dropped, and a closer look at the shoe reveals that it can't be any sweeter than it already is! The iteration has a high-top profile, which gives the heels and ankles more support. Unlike its "Light Chocolate Sail" counterpart from last year, which had milky hues, this premium leather rendition has darker brown tones. The shoelaces, Nike Swoosh emblems on the lateral and medial sides, and the full-length midsole underfoot, all of which are in a pure white gradient, are the only pieces that add a flash of contrast to this delicious configuration. The Nike Dunk High "Chocolate" is an absolute must...
