Celebrities Wearing Adidas Sambas Sneakers, Photos

There is a reason why the Adidas Samba was honored with the Shoe of the Year award at the 37th annual FN Achievement Awards last year.

Nearly 75 years after Adidas debuted the Samba, the sneaker had an unprecedented resurgence and rise in popularity. The now-trendy shoe was originally built for the soccer pitch, but the silhouette found new life universally from casual sneaker wearers all the way to sneakerheads.

The sneaker became a favorite for the style conscious, models and celebrities alike, as well as people who also appreciated its affordable price and comfortability. While now they can be hard to get a pair in one’s size due to its high demand, the classic black and white look is priced at $100. The shoes now have countless iterations including new colorways and special collaborations.

From Kendall Jenner to Brad Pitt’s girlfriend, take a look back at the celebrities who have leaned into the Adidas Samba hype over the years.
