Born on the pitch, the Samba is a timeless icon of street style. This silhouette stays true to its legacy with a tasteful, low-profile, soft leather upper, suede overlays and gum sole, making it a staple in everyone’s closet – on and off the pitch.
Released in 1989, with the ability to seamlessly blend on-court performance with fashion, the Air Jordan 4 Retro sneakers arrive now in a black and red colourway. Here, the sneaker upper is built with leather and contrasted by the mesh netting and signature Jumpman logo patch on the tongue. Underfoot, the black PU midsole houses visible Air in the heel to provide cushioning, giving way to a herringbone rubber outsole for traction.
Adidas originally launched the Samba in the 1950s as a football shoe, but it has since evolved into a true fashion icon. Its elegant figure, a gum rubber sole, and retro nooks and crannies have been capable of making it stand the touch of time, and nowadays the CDG Converse design approach adds even another layer to it
Comme des Garcons is associated with an experimental touch, however, it is also strongly related to a minimal aesthetic. This usually implies abstractionist use of color mainly black and white applied with surprising textures. The Samba x Comme des Garcons collaboration is one of the manifestations of these values.The Samba Comme des Garçons sneakers come in sophisticated tones like all white, black, and a subtle, desirable light pink, making them easy to style against any neutral backdrop.
Following the “Spartan Green” Highs that dropped in 2020, the Nike Dunk Low “Team Green” takes the very same colors and brings it over to a more Summer-friendly format. From the toe to the counter, the overlays dress in the titular color, its grain far, far darker than the white neutrals underneath. Swooshes, linings, and even the laces match the more colorful of the two, sticking in line with the usual two-toned scheme the Dunk has become signature for. There is a subtle touch of deviation, though, as the insole brands with a mostly hidden bit of orange.
