adidas Samba

When introduced in 1950, the Samba was the first football-training shoe developed for frozen pitches. As the Samba developed it became established as the dominant indoor football shoe and is still arguably the most popular and recognisable football silhouette in the world. The Samba has evolved from its original purpose as a training shoe to a terrace staple and has now gone on to become a modern day street classic in its own right. In the indoor or frozen pitch friendly variations, it hasn't diminished in popularity, having continually proved itself as one of the most influential and significant models in the back catalogue of all-time adi greats, from playgrounds to the pub - now that's versatility. Whereas before, the environmentally friendly Grun range left us cold, these are very strong indeed - there's natural and recycled materials throughout, but the monotone approach is excellent, with a touch of 3M discretely added to the branding too. Representing for elements, with a bold depiction on the tongue, these symbolise clouds.
