WMNS adidas Samba OG "Collegiate Green Gum Snakeskin" JR8848

adidas reworks the classic Samba OG with a fresh layer of attitude. This women’s-exclusive “Collegiate Green” edition wraps the upper in faux snakeskin leather, creating a striking texture that still feels grounded thanks to vintage-inspired details. The tonal green finish runs across the upper, broken up by off-white accents on the heel tab, inner lining, and extra laces included in the box.

The serrated 3-Stripes and golden Samba script sit exactly where they should, nodding to the shoe’s football heritage. Meanwhile, a reinforced T-toe and gum rubber sole keep things familiar underfoot. The outsole grips well on most surfaces and stays true to the low-profile terrace roots of the silhouette.

While the snakeskin finish might catch the light, it doesn’t overdo things. This version balances flash and function without shouting. It’s still a Samba, just dressed for a different kind of day.

With Trefoil branding on the tongue and classic proportions all around, this pair moves seamlessly from archive-inspired to everyday essential. adidas doesn’t just dress this one up—they show how to make a decades-old icon feel current again without losing the plot.
