While it may seem like it’s been a while since we’ve seen Jeremy Scott and Adidas in a collaboration, the pair has just unveiled their newest release. While their latest collection includes colorful and vibrant apparel, the newest sneaker is a subdued design that invokes key statement details from the designer. The collection contains tees, tank tops, tracksuits, headwear, and other accessories. While there’s no telling whether more sneakers will join the lineup soon, the truth is this Samba sneaker is a perfect feature shoe for this special collection. Scott is known for the eccentric use of color, print, and materials, so a low-key sneaker is a cause for attention.

This Jeremy Scott-designed sneaker takes on the shape of a classic Adidas Samba, but it’sn’t your typical sneaker. Donning leather uppers in “Core Black,” everything about the shoe’s silhouette is traditional to the Adidas Samba look. Contrasting the rich black upper are the classic Three Stripes in stark white. Upon closer inspection, the tongue has a funky, subtle, edgy designer touch. The tongue comes adorned with a silver zipper that unveils the Jeremy Scott x Adidas logo when unzipped. More co-branding is found on the insole. A dark gum sole adorns the shoe’s design on the outside, giving it a sleek monochromatic look. The sneaker is set to release on June 1 for around $123 USD. While it is still unknown which retailers or stockists will carry this sneaker, you’ll likely find the Sambas and the rest of the collection on Adidas’ webstore and platforms.

In New Balance’s long history, the brand has become home to many iconic silhouettes, colors, and collaborative moments that are worthy of celebration. One of the most recent celebratory moments comes from music brand Roland, where the brand honors 45 years of its TR-808 Rhythm Composer and this year’s “808 Day.” For this momentous occasion, New Balance has partnered with Brazilian pro skater Tiago Lemos to relaunch the special edition Tiago Lemos 808 Lite x Roland sneaker. A sell-out design last year, the 808 Lite x Roland sneaker is a special model for the brand, as it celebrates the impact the 808 music machine has had on music and culture. In a combination that fuses music, skateboarding, and style, it’s no wonder that New Balance is at the forefront of the celebration.
