Adidas Nike React Vision IRAK, following their reunion with the Three Stripes back in 2020, is once again dressing up an adidas classic. But this time they’re taking a more minimal approach to design, opting to sean the innate beauty of the Samba itself as well as the shoe’s signature white and black colorways.
A stark departure from their ZX 8000s — both the pairs from two and fourteen years ago — the IRAK x adidas Samba refrains from changing too much about the silhouette’s core design. The elongated tongue signature to the Slide model, however, has been replaced by a shorter substitute, making the shoe much more lifestyle-friendly. Elsewhere, the rest of the construction, from the gum bottoms to the leather/suede construction, all help create a sense of familiarity, all the while paying homage to one of adidas’ most iconic offerings.
Finished with IRAK branding along the side, tongue, and sockliner, both colorways of the IRAK x adidas Samba are live right now on adidas CONFIRMED.
