Adidas Samba ‘Studded Pack’ – Cream collab Wales Bonner

The Wales Bonner x Adidas Samba ‘Studded Pack’ – Cream is a limited-edition collaboration that masterfully reinterprets the timeless Samba silhouette, blending adidas’s sporting heritage with the elevated, culturally rich aesthetic of British-Jamaican designer Grace Wales Bonner. This specific colorway, Cream White/Cream White/Core Black, utilizes a luxurious full leather upper instead of the traditional suede toe cap, presenting a refined and minimalist base. A key special feature that sets this model apart, and nods to Wales Bonner’s Fall/Winter 2023 apparel collection, is the metallic studs meticulously adorning the iconic Three Stripes, which add a distinctive, jewelry-like edge and rebellious flair to the classic design. Further attention to detail is evident in the deco stitching that gracefully surrounds the heel tab and the signature fold-over tongue, lending a premium, hand-crafted effect. The interior is lined with smooth satin, ensuring a comfortable and luxurious feel against the foot. Dual branding from both partners appears on the woven tongue tag and the sockliner, marking this coveted joint effort. The shoe is anchored by a durable rubber cupsole, which maintains the Samba’s traditional profile and low-to-the-ground feel, combining timeless sportswear function with a high-fashion, expressive twist.
