There's something different about this SAMBA!? You can only get it at Kicks Lab.

The matchups for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final have finally been decided, and excitement in the soccer world is at its peak! While I’ll finally be free from days of sleep deprivation, it’s still a bit sad to see it all come to an end.

Thanks in part to the on- and off-field achievements of top players around the world, the fusion of soccer and fashion has become more accessible. While the “bro-core style”—which incorporates soccer-inspired items into everyday outfits—is now firmly established, a look back at its history reveals that a single pair of shoes released by a certain sports brand in 1949 appears to have had a major influence.

That footwear is the “SAMBA,” a classic from adidas Originals that has evolved through countless updates. Originally created as a soccer shoe, it transcended the soccer field in the 1990s to become a favorite among musicians, skaters, and others, permeating a wide range of subcultures.

So, in this article, we’ll introduce an exclusive model available only at “KICKS LAB.”, which is spreading sneaker culture from Harajuku to the world.

This release features a special edition of the “SAMBA OG,” which faithfully preserves the original “SAMBA” silhouette. While retaining the classic upper that combines full-grain leather and suede, it stands out for its leather lining and gum rubber outsole, which offers excellent traction.

There are plenty of other thoughtful details, such as embroidered accents on the iconic adidas Three Stripes and a change in the tongue material from traditional smooth leather to suede. Don’t miss the “SAMBA OG,” which has been reborn with a fresh new look while retaining its classic style.
