Adidas Samba ‘Studded Pack’ – Black collab Wales Bonner

The Wales Bonner x Adidas Samba ‘Studded Pack-Black’ is a bold and luxurious evolution of the celebrated collaboration between Adidas and British designer Grace Wales Bonner. The design takes the classic Samba silhouette and infuses it with a rebellious, high-fashion edge. The upper is meticulously crafted from a premium, full-grain black leather, providing a sleek and durable base. This is complemented by a tonal leather overlay on the signature T-toe, which adds a subtle textural contrast while maintaining the shoe’s monochromatic and sophisticated aesthetic. The most defining and highlighted feature of this model is the application of metallic gold studs. These studs are meticulously placed along the iconic serrated three-stripes, transforming the sneaker from a sportswear classic into a punk-inspired, avant-garde statement piece. The classic fold-over tongue, a nod to the Samba’s soccer heritage, is rendered in a smooth, tonal black leather and features dual branding from both Adidas and Wales Bonner. A signature detail of the collaboration, the intricate decorative stitching, frames the heel tab, adding a final handcrafted touch. The entire design is grounded by a classic dark gum rubber outsole, providing durable traction and a familiar finish.

This sneaker is aimed at a discerning and fashion-forward audience, including dedicated followers of the Wales Bonner brand, sneaker collectors who appreciate unique, boundary-pushing designs, and individuals looking to make a powerful statement with their footwear. It is perfectly suited for elevating everyday outfits, adding a touch of edgy sophistication to casual looks, or complementing more curated, high-fashion ensembles. It’s an ideal choice for those who value expert craftsmanship, the fusion of different cultural aesthetics.
