At this point, there isn’t much ground the iconic Adidas Samba hasn’t covered. It’s been draped in lace and croc, turned into house slippers, given premium made-in-Italy upgrades and more. Now, the shoe’s getting a black-tie update courtesy of Japanese retailer Atmos.
Clad in black and silver, Atmos’ take on the 1950s indoor soccer shoe is about as formal as it gets. With minimal branding, the Atmos x Adidas Samba instead focuses on color and craftsmanship. Its shiny silver material is an Italian leather, while the black portions use patent leather for a thoroughly glossy look. Silver lace tips add contrast to the black shoelaces that come in the collaboration.
The only outward-facing logo found on the shoe is the Samba’s standard Adidas tongue branding. Elsewhere, the Samba’s signature side foil stamp has been removed completely, giving the shoes an added touch of elegance. Inside, Atmos’ logo is juxtaposed with the Adidas Trefoil symbol along with “designed by Tokyo” text.
The Atmos x Adidas Samba “Tuxedo” is priced at 18,700 Japanese yen, which converts to roughly $124 as of publishing. In comparison, Adidas’ recently released made-in-Italy Samba was retailed at $350.
While this is the official retail release of the Atmos x Adidas Samba “Tuxedo,” it’s not the first chance people have had to purchase the sneaker collab. It debuted at Adidas Con by Atmos in September, where pairs were sold in limited quantities.
Atmos’ drawing for the “Tuxedo” Adidas Samba collaboration is open now through Oct. 25 via atmos-tokyo.com with winners announced on Oct. 26. The terms of Atmos’ raffle state that it only accepts orders from Japanese residents, but it’s possible that the sneakers will be released from global retailers soon.
