While organic interest is growing for models like the Gazelle and Handball Spezial, and brand energy is centered on products like the adidas Superstar, it’ll take much more of a shift to knock the adidas Samba off its perch. Largely the progenator of the low-pro trends we’re currently seeing throughout the footwear world, it remains an incredibly valid streetstyle option a couple years into its ascension. Should you be leaning towards the energy around college hoops, adidas has some strong options available right now.

The pine green underpinnings and off-white overlays largely speak for themselves in setting up a sprightly energy with this colorway. Further, it’s many of the staple hardware associated with the Samba that takes to this lightened change, from the serrated Three Stripes to the t-toe strips at the toe. The second option features a clean Crystal White with Royal Blue, a combination that matches several fanbases that are currently involved in the tournament of 64.

The adidas Samba “Collegiate Green” and “Game Royal” are available now via adidas.com, retailing for $100 in unisex sizing. Hit the “Where To Buy” links included below to grab yours.
