This Is The Cool-Girl Way To Style Your Tried-and-True Adidas Sambas
If there’s one sneaker that has taken over the fashion world by storm, it’s most definitely the Adidas Samba. The shoe has been spotted on countless celebs, including street-style stars Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Katie Holmes, to name a few. The best thing about wearing the now-iconic soccer shoe? It's unmatched comfort. After all, few things rival adding a cool sneaker to your outfits since you know you’ll be able to stay nimble on your toes all day long.
This slim-fit sneaker is the perfect match for jeans and a T-shirt but you can also add a casual touch to a more polished dress or make an unexpectedly fun pairing with patterned skirts. And while you may typically see this sneaker in its black or white colourways, it comes in a huge assortment of more colourful (and spring-appropriate) options, too.
Below, I’ve rounded up some of the best ways to sport your Adidas Sambas, as demonstrated by It girls, street style mavens, and other stylish women and how to get the look. Scroll on to see them all.
A Navy Bomber With A Pop Of Red
When it comes to street style stars, few have captured the attention of fashion lovers quite like Hailey Bieber, as she makes every outfit feel effortless. Pair your light-wash denim with a classic bomber jacket in navy, and add a pair of red Sambas for a cool and laid-back look.
