Adidas Samba ‘Cowhide Mules’ Are the Most Unexpected Sneakers of the Year

The popular adidas Samba silhouette has been reinterpreted in the form of a luxe pair of "Cowhide Mules" you won't be able to resist.

Over the last few years, the adidas Samba has become incredibly popular, to say the least. From the feet of celebs and street style influencers to the runways of high fashion shows, these iconic kicks are sweeping the sneaker world. But if the vintage football sneaker is going to be around for a while, we might as well welcome some change in the form of these luxe “Cowhide Mules” by Sui Customs sneaker artist Sean.

A Closer Look At The Design

This incredible custom design sees the classic silhouette cut off at the ankle, transforming the Samba into a stylish mule. But aside from the apparent chop, these kicks are also covered in hairy cowhide material, buttery sail leather, and a hint of suede at the toe, making them exceedingly drool-worthy (perhaps, even more so then your average Samba). The designer has also incorporated two sets of laces onto each shoe, as well as jagged brown trim around the tongue and eye stays for an extra burst of detail.

Is There a Real Adidas Mule?

While adidas has already converted several of its popular sneaker styles, such as the Superstar and the Stan Smith, into mules, they haven’t yet done the same with the Samba. Perhaps Sean’s fantastic Cowhide Mule design will inspire Adidas to push the Samba down another path. But for the time being, we have this incredible custom pair to entice all Samba fans.
