adidas Originals Samba 2008 Collection

For Fall/Winter 2008, adidas Originals reintroduces the adidas Samba, one of the most recognizable adidas silhouettes, with the Originals Trefoil branding and packaging.

The first of the “Samba” all-round soccer shoes were launched in 1950, for better traction on ice, snow and frozen ground. Famous for over five decades, it went on to become the most sought-after indoor soccer shoe in the world and continues to be regarded as the classic all-round training shoe today. Adidas Originals celebrates the Samba in its vintage construction with this Fall/Winter season assortment, and reinterprets it, offering fresh color ways and contemporary executions on a perennial favorite.

Kicking off next month with its original black/white colorway, the Samba will roll out in several versions throughout the season, with a suggested retail price of $60. Different variations include vibrant colors and a translucent “ice” sole to modernize the original silhouette, as well as soccer-inspired colorblocking and suede executions with metallic gold stripes. Check out the full lineup of the 2008 collection of the Adidas Sambas after the jump.
