Adidas Samba OG Cream White Sand Strata

Light, but not quite pure white. The Adidas Samba OG Cream White Sand Strata has a premium leather base in Cream White, an off-white with a hint of vanilla, Three Stripes in Core Black, and a T-toe and overlays in nubuck in Sand Strata, a sandy beige. The Samba name is in gold on the side, a detail that sets it apart from the usual black and white version.

The Samba was born as a football shoe and has ended up as one of the most worn trainers on the street. Among the light Sambas, this colourway is one of the least likely to look dirty, thanks to the beige nubuck.

• Upper: premium leather
• Overlays: nubuck
• Outsole: rubber
• Details: gold logo
• Fastening: laces
• Style code: ID0478

How to wear it: sand linen trousers and an open white shirt in summer, straight black jeans and a grey cardigan between seasons, or a black nylon tracksuit with white socks for the terrace look.

Clean the light nubuck with a dedicated eraser and a dry brush; the leather with a damp cloth.
