Crazy Raccoon Takes a Go at It Own adidas Samba Sneaker
References: highsnobiety
Japanese esports organization works together with adidas and fashion retailer atmos to create its own variation of the Samba sneaker model. The shoes have gone through their fair share of designs, adorned with various prints, textures, colorways, and more. This time around, the three-way collaboration remains relatively minimal, and notably, this marks the inaugural shoe project by the electronic game company.
It starts off with a sleek black base foundation crafted from premium leather materials along the upper and the tongue section. The model continues with the classic Three Stripes branding on the side of the shoe in a white hue for a stark color contrast. To add some changing textures, there is what appears to be some suede around the toe box.
