adidas Originals introduces a look at the unique chunky Samba model that is puffed up dramatically to alter its proportions and prioritize comfort above all else. The classic shoes are the coziest ones to join its roster yet as it has been remixed as a puffy house silhouette resting on top of a regular sole unit for a unique fusion.
This is fully crafted with comfort in mind and the laces over the forefoot do not need to be tied as it is elasticized for an easy slip on and off. The redesign transforms everything including the Three Stripes branding on the side and tongue flap over the front all of which is finished with a soft cushioned lining.
