The Adidas Sambas Sneaker Is Still Every A-Lister’s Favorite Shoe
It's such a timeless option.
Fashion has had a longstanding relationship with the humble sneaker. Each season, a slew of the best new sneakers are released, and the silhouette becomes a coveted style for the fashion set. Adidas Sambas remains a closet staple this year, with endless styling capabilities.
The sleek silhouette, available in white and black colorways, is a departure from the popular chunky sneakers of the past. Arguably one of the coolest white sneakers of the last few years, the color has repeatedly sold out on Adidas's website and continues to be a mainstay across fashion mood boards.
Kendall Jenner is a longtime fan of the style, wearing them business casual in New York with a sleek button-down shirt and laid back with light wash jeans or with Daisy-Duke style denim cutoffs in Los Angeles.

Supermodels seem to think alike. Kaia Gerber recently test-drove the black colorway with white stripes—a mainstay in the model's off-duty wardrobe.

Versatility is the key to the Samba. Jenner and Gerber's looks prove they can work just as well with summer shorts or winter layers. If you haven't yet bought a pair, now is your chance. Here are a few to add to your footwear collection today.
