The adidas Samba Decon White Black Gum updates the original Samba released in the 1950s with a deconstructed aesthetic and a minimalist colorway of Cloud White, Core Black, and Grey One.

Cloud White leather makes up the upper, while the signature T-shaped overlay crossing the upper is crafted from velvety suede in Grey One. Highlights of black can be found on the heel tab and the 3-Stripes logos on the sides. Metallic gold SAMBA lettering runs next to the 3-Stripes on the outer side panel and matches the gold branding on the tongue. It reads "adidas" and displays an oversized trefoil. Keeping to the sneaker’s roots, the outsole is made of gum rubber that provides traction on multiple surfaces.

Our experts like the tonal stitching on the upper because it doesn’t stand out, keeping with the minimalist design.
