Adidas Originals has queued up two new Samba silhouettes featuring a pony hair, leopard print upper. The iconic silhouette has been on a major roll as of late, a resurgance that’s been buoyed by a series of well-received collaborations.
In the case of the leopard pack, Adidas clearly took inspiration from London-based label Wales Bonner, whose collaborations have been a key engine for the silhouettes revival. More so than others design partners, designer Grace Wales Bonner has shown a talent for updating Samba with her signature jaunty style, which speaks to her combined British/Jamaican heritage.
Priced at $100 and offered in women’s sizing, Adidas Original’s Samba OG leopard pack is expected to release in February 2025 on adidas.com and at select Adidas retailers.
