The adidas Samba OG JJJJound Black is a low-top performance shoe released as a collaboration between the sportswear brand and JJJJound, a Montreal-based design studio known for its mood boards.
The JJJJound Black adidas Samba OG has an upper made of black tumbled leather accented by black calf suede, which forms the t-shaped toecap. The 3-Stripes that are synonymous with the adidas brand adorn each side in serrated white leather, while the JJJJound brand name appears in metallic gold on the lateral side. White leather also forms the heel collar and the tongue, which has texture but is void of any branding elements. The shoe sits on a thin gum rubber outsole, staying true to the classic design of the adidas Samba.
The most interesting thing about this shoe is the minimal branding. The fact that JJJJound and adidas each only have one piece of branding really lets the shoe speak for itself. The adidas Samba OG JJJJound Black was released on March 27, 2024, for $250.
