The New adidas Samba ADV "Dark Blue" Is a Whole Vibe

A "Dark Blue" Samba ADV, a skate-ready variant of the original Adidas Samba, will be up for grabs this spring season

Adidas Skateboarding division often creates tweaked versions of the brand’s well-known sneaker styles for skateboarders to enjoy on and off the board. One particularly successful variant is the Samba ADV, an exact replica of the original Samba in terms of looks but with additional skate-ready enhancements needed to make the shred more comfortable. The brand currently has several colourways on offer to entice skaters, from more classic black and white colour schemes to subtle pastel green pairs. Soon to join the offerings is a “Dark Blue” Samba ADV that brings a royal look to the classic silhouette.

A Closer Look At The Sneaker

The Samba ADV’ Dark Blue’ is not just about style, it’s about durability. With premium ‘Dark Blue’ suede uppers and contrasting light grey leather details on the heel tab, inner lining, and the all-too-familiar stripes at the side, this shoe is built to last. The redesigned tongue and moulded sockliner ensure a locked-in fit, while the double-layered Adituff T-toe cap adds an extra layer of protection. Finishing off the look are the model’s characteristic gold branding elements and semi-translucent gum rubber bottoms with ample traction for skateboarding.
