Adidas Samba OG Carbon Warm Vanilla

Instead of the usual black, the Adidas Samba OG Carbon Warm Vanilla uses a near-black charcoal grey paired with Warm Vanilla, a warm cream, and the gum sole. The upper is smooth leather with cracked leather details, a finish with small cracks that gives it a worn-in look from day one. The serrated Three Stripes, the Trefoil printed on the tongue and the word Samba on the side keep all the model's codes.

The Samba was designed in the 1950s for playing football on frozen pitches, which is where its grippy rubber sole and reinforced toe come from.

• Upper: smooth leather with cracked leather details
• Toe: reinforced T-toe
• Outsole: gum rubber
• Fastening: laces
• Style code: KK2268

What to pair it with: charcoal is less harsh than black with earth tones, so try it with brown corduroy trousers, a denim shirt and a suede jacket. For every day, washed black jeans, a grey marl sweatshirt and an olive bomber.

Care: a moisturising leather cream every few weeks keeps the cracked texture from drying out.
