The Samba never fades out. It reloads.
The BAPE x adidas Samba “World Cup” proves exactly why this silhouette stays relevant year after year.
This release keeps things clean and familiar. A smooth leather upper sets the tone, offering a premium feel that holds up to daily wear. The leather lining keeps the fit comfortable from the first step, no long break-in needed. Underfoot, the gum rubber outsole delivers grip and durability, staying true to classic Samba roots.
Colour choice is spot on. Off White leads the way, soft and versatile. Shadow Green brings contrast without shouting. The gum sole finishes it properly. It’s subtle. It’s confident. It works whether you’re heading out or just keeping it casual.
BAPE’s influence is restrained, and that’s the appeal. This isn’t a loud collab that dates fast. It’s a wearable trainer that fits neatly into any rotation. Pair it with cargos, denim, or track pants. Even smarter fits hold up thanks to the low-profile shape.
Fit stays standard. Regular sizing. Lace closure. Snug but comfortable, especially for narrow to average feet. If you already own Sambas, stick true to size.
