Pharrell Williams offers a fresh take on one of adidas’ oldest sneakers with the AW22 Samba Capsule. Fist produced in 1949 for football players training indoors on hard courts, the original Samba featured an extended tongue and a rubber cupsole with suction cups. Pharrell keeps the rubber cupsole and extended tongue, updated with molded leather, while elevating the silhouette with premium leather and suede uppers. He also added zig-zag stitching to the three stripes as a nod to the original. The subtle Cloud White ($120.00) and Core Black ($120.00) colorways keep the focus on the retro design. The capsule’s apparel selection also leans into the Samba’s football heritage with both a short and a long sleeve knit jersey, shell jacket and matching pant, and woven shorts, all embellished with nostalgic puff print details.
