The adidas Samba OG Core Black Gum adds an all-black colorway to the Samba silhouette, maintaining its classic design and heritage details.

Originally created for soccer players, the Core Black Gum adidas Samba OG boasts a smooth leather construction with suede accents on the toebox overlay. However, the main upper, the 3-Stripes logo, the eyelets, the tongue, and the heel mustache all come in Core Black leather. The Core Black laces thread through the eyelets and secure the front closure. The ‘SAMBA’ lettering in metallic gold and the blue Samba Originals tongue logo interrupt the black-on-black colorway. Finishing the look, the rubber outsole provides traction underfoot.

Our experts like that the 3-Stripes logo comes in tonal Core Black instead of a contrasting hue, because it contributes to the sleek design.
