Adidas Originals and Caroline Hú have reunited for their third collaboration, this time queuing up Samba featuring a shirred silk upper in three different colors: power red, dark blue and silver metallic. Stamped with Hú‘s name on the tongue, the shoe features leather stripes and brown gum outsoles adding some levity to the whimsical shoe.
LVMH Prize nominee Hú was born in China and is now based in New York City. She was tapped by Clot designer Edison Chen for the collaboration whose partnership with Adidas Originals provides him with opportunity to spotlight emerging designers of his choosing. Prior to Samba, Hú reimagined an Adidas Originals’ Reverie and Superstar.
Priced at $160, Adidas Originals and Caroline Hú’s Samba will launch on May 9, 2025 on adidas.com.
