adidas Dingyun Zhang Samba

Description

The extraordinary design vision of Chinese designer, Dingyun Zhang, is clear with this take on the adidas Samba shoes. While grounded in the archive, Zhang’s approach gives a disruptive touch to the football aesthetic. The inspiration comes from a mix of sci-fi and other worldly creatures, fused with a deep love of street culture. The result is a evolution of the puffy Samba from prior seasons, now fully covered up with shorthair cow suede material. The elongated tongue continues with the exaggerated theme found on the trainers.
