ADIDAS × DINGYUN ZHANG — SPECIAL RELEASE
LOT · IF9703_11 Cloud White / Core Black / Gum · Brand New, Boxed
A terrace classic handed to a sculptor — the Samba reimagined in soft, inflated volumes.
The Samba began in 1950 as a football boot built for icy ground, its low profile and gum outsole earning it a second life on the terraces of Europe and, decades later, a permanent place in everyday wardrobes. For this release Adidas handed the silhouette to Dingyun Zhang, the Chinese designer known for puffed, otherworldly forms, who kept the Samba’s bones intact while softening everything around them.
Here the familiar white leather upper and black three stripes are joined by an exaggerated, cushioned tongue and a rounded, pillow-like collar that changes the shoe’s whole posture. The T-toe and serrated stripes stay true to the archive, while the gum rubber outsole grounds it in the original’s working-class utility. It wears close and comfortable, and pairs as easily with wide trousers and denim as it does with tailoring — a quiet, sculptural take on a shoe that never really left.
