Adidas Samba OG Wonder White Shadow Red

Bone white and dark red: the Adidas Samba OG Wonder White Shadow Red is a soft-toned Samba that recalls football kits from another era. Wonder White is a warm white, closer to ivory than optical white, and Shadow Red is a muted red that leans towards maroon. Both rest on a gum sole that completes the vintage feel.

According to adidas, this version stays true to the original design: smooth leather upper, suede T-toe, soft fabric tongue with a flag label and a rubber outsole.

• Upper: smooth leather
• Toe: suede T-toe
• Tongue: textile, with flag label
• Outsole: gum rubber
• Style code: JS3830

The colours call for pieces with a retro feel: a cream knitted polo, mid-wash straight jeans and a brown suede jacket; or an old football shirt with navy joggers. For women, a long denim skirt and a dark red jumper that repeats the tone of the shoe.

Warm white hides wear better than pure white, but it is worth wiping the leather with a damp cloth after each wear.
