adidas Samba X BRU SLEE “Puff Sneaker”

While old-school sneaker gems like the adidas Samba have been basking in the limelight over the past few years, there’s simultaneously been a thriving demand for more futuristic silhouettes. In fact, sneakers that look like they’ve been plucked straight out of a sci-fi movie have been more sought-after than ever. To ensure the adidas Samba retains its iconic status amid this evolving sneaker landscape, Ilija Nikolić, known widely as BRU SLEE (@bru_slee), has envisioned the adidas Samba X BRU SLEE “Puff Sneaker,” a futuristic take on the classic silhouette.

A Closer Look at the Sneaker

For his interpretation of the model, BRU SLEE transforms the 1949 silhouette into a bulky, exaggerated version with a puffed-out sole unit. Yet despite this modern overhaul, the sneaker stays true to its heritage with a textured gum rubber material on the sole. 

While there aren’t too many other modern design elements added to this concept, the exaggerated sole alone is enough to propel the Samba into the future. Of course,  a bit of patent leather on the upper and a tonal colourway akin to the Dingyun Zhang Samba collab would create the ideal pair of futuristic kicks for any collection.

Is The adidas Samba X BRU SLEE “Puff Sneaker” Available for Purchase?

Sadly, this pair is just a concept at the moment. However, given Ilija Nikolić’s impressive portfolio, including designs for top-tier brands like Salomon, Dolce & Gabbana, and Reebok, it’s not far-fetched to imagine his perfectly sci-fi designs becoming a reality soon.

In the meantime, you can explore some futuristic sneakers currently on the market or get a sneak peek at the avant-garde “Cyber Metallic” adidas Harden Volume 9, kicks debuting in 2025. And remember to follow us here at Sneaker Fortress for more forward-thinking customs and concepts.
