The adidas Samba “Croc Skin” is a stunning example of the brand’s commitment to elevating its iconic silhouette through premium materials and expert craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Italy, this latest iteration showcases the timeless design of the Samba with a luxurious crocodile leather upper that has been hand-painted to achieve a shiny patent leather-like finish that exudes sophistication and style.
The all-black colorway is broken only by the crisp white Three Stripes branding, creating a striking contrast that draws the eye and accentuates the shoe’s sleek lines. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the adidas Samba “Croc Skin”, from the meticulously crafted upper to the Cordovan leather heel and lining, which enhance the shoe’s premium feel and durability.
This release follows in the footsteps of other high-profile Samba collaborations, such as those with fashion designer Wales Bonner, who has been instrumental in redefining the Samba’s place in the world of high fashion. The “Croc Skin” version, however, is a testament to the skill and dedication of the Italian artisans who have brought their expertise to this classic sneaker.
The adidas Samba “Croc Skin” will be released in Japan on June 7th for ¥55,000 (approximately $350), with no word yet on a stateside release date.
