Sneaker trend: 5 Reasons Why Women are Obsessed with Adidas Sambas
The History
The Adidas Sambas are the most worn and trendy shoes of the year, but do you know the story behind them? Let's take a quick look at their history. Before the 1950s, soccer boots lacked grip, and soccer players needed innovative shoes to play on icy grounds. This gave birth to the Sambas, the first sports shoes made of kangaroo leather and gum soles for traction. Interestingly, Adidas released the Samba in the 1950s, designed for icy patches in Europe, just in time for the FIFA World Cup in Brazil during the peak summer season. Adidas believed it was the perfect time to debut soccer boots, AKA football boots, for the winter during the summer. As a result, the shoes were named Samba after the Brazilian dance and music genre, to highlight the host country of the World Cup.
The Sambas are one of the longest-running Adidas sneakers, created by the footwear giant’s founder Adi Dassler himself. Originally designed for football, the Samba has evolved to cater to a wider range of sports, gaining attraction in the wider world of sneakers and sports to this day. It continues to be a prominent choice for indoor football courts, cycling, handball, and skateboarding. It is the company's second-best-selling sneaker of all time, following the Stan Smith, and has appeared in multiple collaborations over the years.
Aside from the Humanrace and Wales Bonner collabs, the Samba was highlighted in adidas' releases with the likes of Palace, JJJJound, Pleasures and Jason Dill.
The Samba remains one of the most sought-after shoes dominating social media feeds and is an iconic sneaker loved by many. So, when you buy sneakers, it's always important to know the history behind them. Speaking of sneakers, I am a huge sneakerhead, and I love the Sambas. I purchased them for myself, and I hope you love them just as much 😉
5 reasons why the adidas sambas are top tier!
After discussing the history of this year's trendiest sneakers, let's focus on why the Adidas Sambas are at the top of the fashion game today.
1.They are incredibly versatile and easy to style:
With the ability to dress them up or down, they are perfect for any occasion, from work to brunch to running errands, making them a perfect fit for moms and women on the go.
2. They are extremely comfortable, making them a top recommendation for anyone looking for comfortable shoes.
3. They cater to those with wider feet, ensuring that everyone can enjoy these sneakers. Whether you have wide feet or not, the Sambas are a must-have for any fashion-forward woman.
4. They are a timeless piece; regardless of how trendy they are, these sneakers are in for a long run; just like Adidas Stan Smith, they are timeless and are here to stay. I think it's important to invest in timeless pieces even though it gets strong moments, but in my opinion, of course as of right now its trendy, but for it to be also known as Adidas Top Seller following Stan Smith, it should already tell you that whether the trends come or go, these sneakers will forever be the staple in your closet, regardless of the trends.
5. These sneakers are made to wear for any weather, as it was first made for soccer for the winter seasons. I believe that the Sambas can also be catered to all season long. You can enjoy these sneakers in the winter because of their grip on the bottom, and you can also wear them during the spring, summer, and fall because of their lightweight and breathable silhouettes that make any outfit look stylish without having to try.
