The adidas Samba OG Off White Core Black is a lifestyle shoe featuring a leather upper in Core White, accented by the tip done in off-white suede. adidas’ signature three stripes appear on the sides, featuring serrated edges, with the right edge appearing in Core Black. Samba branding appears on the sides, and the tongue displays the adidas Trefoil logo. A gum rubber sole finishes the look.
adidas’ heritage dates to 1924, over a century ago, and the iconic Samba style was designed by adidas founder Adolf Dassler in the 1940s. The original model featured a gum rubber sole for cold, hard ground traction. After decades of producing and refining the Samba, adidas now creates modern variations of the style, such as the Samba OG, which expresses a subtle yet graphic iteration of its classic aesthetic.
In our opinion, the best feature of the Samba OG is its Core Black accents, which are minimal but impactful. The adidas Samba OG Off White Core Black was released on June 1, 2024, and retailed at $100.
