Size and fit of the Samba - our recommendations
The Samba from adidas was developed for playing soccer and fits tight accordingly. If you have wider feet and often have problems with closed shoes, we recommend ordering the Samba half a size larger than usual.
The mixture of smooth leather and suede will eventually give in a little. After a short break-in period, you won't want to take the Samba off. Generally, the adidas Samba is unisex and can be worn by everyone.
A short cultural history of the classic from adidas
The Samba was designed in 1949 by adidas founder Adi Dassler for playing soccer. Due to the innovative design and the very grippy sole, the Samba immediately enjoyed great popularity. Incidentally, the name is derived from the Brazilian dance Samba. In 1950, the World Cup was held in Brazil and adidas wanted to present the new Samba there.
In the course of the 70s and 80s, the adidas Samba was particularly popular with soccer fans, musicians and large sections of pop culture. From Fredy Mercury and Oasis to Bob Marley, everyone has had a Samba on their feet sooner or later. The timeless shoe from adidas is still very popular with streetwear and fashion fans.
