Just in time for the World Cup, adidas is set to release a one-for-one reproduction of the original Samba, maybe the most well-known soccer shoe ever made—well, indoor soccer shoe, at least. Soft leather upper. Suede T-toe. Textured rubber cupsole. Gold foil embossing. Metallic detailing. Everything that made the sneaker great when it first hit shelves in the ’50s is present here in the Samba OG. Both the black and white colorways drop tomorrow (June 1), so maybe mark your calendar if you’re seeking some nostalgic style. Then you can wear them to cheer on a team who isn’t the USA.
