While last year was the year for Samba and Gazelle remixes, another adidas design garnered plenty of attention. Between sophisticated and textured reiterations, the Superstar sneaker saw much love from collaborators and fans alike. Despite the numerous remixes of the Superstar sneaker, the Three Stripes brand is only getting started with its famed silhouette. In their latest release, adidas is showing even more love to the renowned design with a remix that adds plenty of texture to the sneaker. Hitting the mark between a modern upgrade and classic style, the new adidas Superstar shows how the brand is constantly innovating its timeless designs for a new era.

Using texture and shine, the latest Superstar sneaker set to be released is a fun addition to the Superstar lineup. While other iterations of the silhouette have seen crocodile and patent leather, the new sneaker adds a beaded material to the classic design. Keeping the same silhouette and shape, the shoe’s sides have a classic base full of intricate beaded details. Delicately portraying the brand’s Three Stripes design, the Superstar sneaker successfully adds shine to the timeless sneaker. Available in a classic black and white colorway, the sneaker also includes the traditional leather construction throughout the middle of the silhouette. The newest Superstar sneaker will be ready for $250 on February 6th via the brand’s website and stores. While this release doesn’t push the Superstar silhouette out of the box, it’s a welcome sign for faithful fans of the design. With continued interest in classic and retro sneakers, there’s no doubt that adidas has plenty more remixes planned for some of their most iconic sneakers.

Following New Balance’s announcement of new colors and fabrics for their controversial sneaker-loafer design, a new brand is emerging to follow suit. HOKA is joining the hybrid design by releasing their version of the sneaker-loafer hybrid, with an interesting look that differs from those released by New Balance. Using a mixture of design features that integrate traditional sneaker and loafer silhouettes, the newest offering from HOKA is anything but typical. For those looking to dress up their comfort shoes or want to add some cushion to their dress shoes, the HOKA hybrid is a perfect balance that’s both traditional and bold. While this look is bound to come with split opinions, there’s no doubt that many athletic brands are looking to break the mold of style and practicality. 
Meet HOKA’s Speed Loafer 

Unlike New Balance’s 1906L, Hoka’s Speed loafer infuses the top of a dress loafer with the bottom of a sneaker for the ultimate definition of a hybrid shoe. Using a leather upper and Vibram Megagrip outsole, this sleek black hybrid shoe is quite the silhouette. Inside the design, a leather sockliner elevates the sneaker loafer with the use of premium material. Reflective piping and suede mudguard add traditional sneaker elements to the design. Expected to hit HOKA’s website on January 31, the sneaker-loafer will retail for $185. Regardless if you wear the shoe as an elegant sneaker or a casual loafer, there’s no doubt that HOKA’s hybrid shoe opens the door to future bold designs. While the jury is still out on how this hybrid shoe fairs with HOKA fans, it’s an eye-raising silhouette that deserves a chance.

It’s no secret that 2024 was a big year for adidas’ Samba sneakers. The low-top and slim sneaker became the go-to shoe for everyday style and its popularity brought many remixes and variations. As Samba became more popular, adidas slowly transformed the silhouette via numerous collaborations throughout the year. While the original Samba silhouette isn’t heading anywhere anytime soon, adidas is already working hard to reenvision its famed sneaker for the new year. Looking to replicate this fame, adidas recently announced the reissuing of one of their archival Samba silhouettes, which adds a bit more volume to the narrow design. Although this Samba sneaker touts a different style than its original counterpart, it’s an updated silhouette that adds plenty of life to the hit shoe. 
Make way for the Samba 62

In the Samba 62, adidas has added some width to the silhouette with a dual-toned outsole and narrow upper. With a similar look to a retro running shoe, the Samba 62 is a unique archival design from the Samba collection. The Samba 62 is crafted with a sleek leather upper with the inclusion of suede on the toe box. The brand’s iconic three stripes find their way along the side, next to an ‘adidas Samba’ logo in gold lettering. Unlike other Samba variations, this sneaker includes a pull tab along the heel and a lower midsole. Also gone is the traditional gum rubber, which has been replaced with foam. Expected to hit adidas’ CONFIRMED app and select retailers on January 23 for $140, the new Samba 62 is the perfect continuation of an iconic sneaker silhouette.
