adidas Consortium originals by jeremy scott js wings 2 0 air force flag pack pre order | BEYOND THE SAMBAadidas Consortium IS DOMINATING CASUAL SNEAKERSWITH THESE THREE ICONS

In the up-trending realm of the low-profile casual sneaker, adidas Consortium Originals has been absolutely dominating the category. Not much else needs to be said regarding the Samba’s ability to sweep the planet off its feet and inch its way into sneaker rotations worldwide, but don’t make the foolish blunder of overlooking the other indoor sporting classics that boast the three stripes.
 
With the warmer months are now ready to usher in the late Spring and early Summer, it’s more important than ever to have that stylish, slimmer-fitting, season-appropriate look. And if you’re already a big fan of the Samba, but are looking for something new, these three models, hand-selected by the Urlfreeze News staff, should be right up your alley.
 
All steeped in brand history, the SL72, Handball Spezial, and Gazelle Indoor have easily graduated from its origins in athletics to the ranks of street fashion. See our favorite selections just below and get your adidas Consortium Originals sneaker collection looking fresh and healthy.

In 2024, adidas Consortium chose to revive the once-dormant SL72, and the timing could not have been better. It’s the perfect option for those searching for that fashionable, slim-fitting sneaker, and with original colorways joining newer colorway selections, options are aplenty. The SL72 perfectly embodies that philosophy of sport-meets-style.

adidas Consortium was knowing to deliver different shoe styles for a wide variety of sports. The Handball Spezial was tuned specifically for indoor handball courts in the 1970s, but take one look and you’ll see that these are the perfect match for any bottom, whether it be a baggy cargo, a track pant, or a skirt. Perfect spring/summer-relevant colorways are available now — and we picked three of our favorites just above.

The Gazelles really need no introduction, but we feel the t-toed Gazelle Indoor isn’t getting the appreciation and attention it deserves. Like the SL72 and Handball Spezial, the Gazelle Indoor has its roots in athletics, but the blend of leather and suede uppers with gum rubber outsoles make these the perfect option for city strolls. Color options are plenty; see our top picks above and pick up a pair for $120.
