Official unveiling of JJJJound x Adidas Samba
The highly anticipated collaboration between JJJJound and Adidas reveals the Samba Classic Mig through official images. Leaked photos preview the sneaker in an off-white, "Core Black," and gum colorway. While initial glances may categorize it as a typical Samba, a hallmark of JJJJound's collaborations, closer inspection reveals the use of premium leather, justifying a potentially elevated price point.

Design elements of the JJJJound x Adidas Samba
Per usual, JJJJound continues to stay true to their roots in sticking to a minimalistc design. Crafted with an off-white leather base, the sneaker incorporates black leather for the Three Stripes motif, mustache, and collar. Grey suede enhances the tip, while the outsole adopts a gum hue. A distinctive touch is the gold leather sockliner, featuring subtle JJJJound branding, echoed by the studio's name in gold debossing where the Samba name traditionally resides. The insole is adorned with the "JJJJound" signature, completing the refined design.

Additional colorways of JJJJound x Adidas Samba and fake allegations
Anticipated alongside the showcased colorway, two more versions of the JJJJound Sambas are expected, although images are yet to surface. In November 2022, glimpses of an anticipated JJJJound x adidas Samba collaboration emerged, showcasing the sneaker in two distinct color variations (refer to the images provided). However, a surprising twist unfolded when JJJJound, deviating from its usual demeanor, promptly addressed the speculations in a now-deleted tweet, asserting, "Those sneakers are fake lol."

A strong start for Adidas into the heading year of 2024
Notably, the Adidas Samba earned the prestigious title of Shoe of the Year at the FN Achievement Awards 2023. Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden, while accepting the award, teased future plans, particularly addressing Nike with a bold statement: "To the Nike people in the room, watch out. We have a lot in the pipeline… not a joke." The upcoming collaboration with JJJJound reaffirms the Samba's pivotal role in Adidas's 2024 strategies.
Release details and retail pricing
The JJJJound x Adidas Samba collection is slated for a March 2024 release, with each pair priced at $250. Stay tuned for updates on this collaboration as more information becomes available.
