While Adidas has worked with plenty of brands, designers, and celebrities in recent seasons, their collaboration with Sporty & Rich remains one of their most reliable partnerships. The pair has continuously released prep-inspired styles and collections in recent seasons that have grown this partnership into the brand’s most luxurious and elevated collection. This time around, the duo has turned to the Samba sneaker for a new iteration that’s perfect for those looking for a balance between a casual sneaker and a luxe pick. While Adidas and Sporty & Rich have previously collaborated on a Samba iteration, this release keeps things classic and straightforward, making for the perfect timeless option. 

Adidas and Sporty & Rich bring preppy vibes to the Samba

Staying faithful to the Samba’s original silhouette, the latest collaborative sneaker from Adidas and Sporty & Rich sees small changes that deliver maximum style. Crafted in a crisp white upper, the Samba gets remixed with hints of green and navy blue. Off-white suede overlays on the toe and heel add another neutral hue to the mix and a new texture to contrast. The Three Stripes design appears in a ribbon-style, adding a unique and preppy detail to the sneaker. Sporty & Rich branding appears in gold foil along the lateral side, as well as on the tongue in the same rich green hue. Balancing Adidas’ athletic branding, Sporty & Rich’s restrained preppy style manages to fuse both worlds with ease. While Adidas and Sporty & Rich have not confirmed an official launch date or retail price, fans can expect the design to hit stores near the end of the summer season.
