10 Adidas Sneaker Collaborations to Know and Shop, From Gucci to Khaite

“People are not buying Sambas to play soccer. They’re not buying Stan Smiths to play tennis,” Omondi explains further. “They’re wearing them for the heritage. The shoe is part of the fashion zeitgeist because of the lifestyle and culture it represents.” The trainer with trend potential has evolved vastly since its original form, and new collaborations and colorways featuring the Samba and other three-stripe classics continue to add layers to a story that extends far beyond style.

These are the Adidas sneaker collaborations to shop now.

British-Jamaican menswear designer Grace Wales Bonner has designed several iterations of highly covetable Adidas collaborations. Seen on cool kids from East Hollywood to the Lower East Side, Adidas Originals by Wales Bonner offers vibrant colorways and reflects research on the music and photography of Burkina Faso in West Africa during the 1970s and ’80s.

The Italian fashion house’s jewel-toned versions of the Gazelles, an Adidas Originals style, draw inspiration from Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele’s memories of the 1980s and ’90s and champion the signature three-stripe style.

As fashion history tells us, the Samba shoe was introduced to the world in 1949. The objective? To allow football players to train on icy earth. Not too much has changed in the shoe’s design; back then there were still three stripes and a trefoil logo on the shoe’s tongue. Why mess with a masterpiece?
