At its core, the Adidas Samba sneaker is the everyday lifestyle sneaker that people continue to love. While the original iteration of the shoe originated elsewhere, the truth is that the modern iteration of the design has become ingrained in the closets of most people. In recent seasons, Adidas has doubled down on the sneaker, offering countless variations, colors, and prints to choose from. Now, the German-founded brand is taking its famed everyday sneaker into the cold weather with an upgrade that turns it into the ultimate year-round style. While casual sneakers tend not to fare well in extreme climates, the latest upgrade brings plenty of features and tech that’ll make it easier to wear your favorite silhouette in unpredictable weather. Far from the slim and narrow sneaker we’ve grown accustomed to with the Samba, the newest iteration is a chunkier silhouette you’ll need in the upcoming season.
Adidas’ newest Samaba is chunkier and more resistant than ever
Far from the original thin-soled silhouette that the Samba usually sports, the new Adidas Samaba WTR dons a chunky tread that mimics that of typical hiking boots. While the chunkier tread adds traction support for slippery surfaces, the tread is still lighter than that of typical winter-ready shoes. On the uppers, the Samba includes a shaggy suede base that’s emphasized with metal eyelets and a no-sew rubber toe cap. Accenting the lateral sides are reflective details on the three stripes, for better use in low-light conditions. The Samba WTR is set to be released in two colorways: brown and black. While Adidas has yet to confirm an official release date or retail price, we should expect to see this design land on shelves during the fall or winter seasons.
