Why We Love This Deal

Adidas has slashed prices on a ton of bestselling sneakers for its Black Friday sale, including the legendary Gazelle and Superstar sneakers. The one most will be very happy to hear about, though, is one that rarely goes on sale: the Samba OG. With over 20 colorways marked down, now’s the time to buy.

It’s important to know that sizes are already running low and that prices vary by color, but you can still score a pair if you hurry. This iconic pair of the Samba OG Sneakers in white with red stripes, an absolute classic, is just $80 while the sale lasts until Nov. 29.

What Shoppers Should Know

• Colors: 37, with 20 on sale, and 8 featuring the $80 price
• Sizes: 5 to 15
• Design: Lifestyle
• Purpose: Multi-purpose (running, training, casual)
• Materials: Full-grain leather, suede, rubber gum

This is one of the most iconic sneakers ever made, largely thanks to its universally recognizable three-stripes design. They were first introduced way back in 1949 and are as relevant today as they were then, thanks to their streamlined, timeless look and appeal. Today’s model, while it does have a few modifications, mainly stays true to the heritage look. It’s still crafted from soft, supple full-grain leather and has suede T-toe overlays and classic gum rubber soles that give it the classic look. 

They still pair with virtually everything, from jeans and chinos to joggers and even slacks. This is achieved through their sporty, clean, and “forever cool” vibes they bring to any wearer’s attire. They’re stylish without trying to be, remaining forever in demand.

Why Buy Them Now?

There’s a reason they rarely go on sale, and that’s simply because their demand almost always overwhelms supply. Thankfully, it’s a model Adidas will likely never stop selling, so patience is key, especially when waiting for them to go on sale. We don’t see the Sambas go on sale very often, save for a handful of times per year, including right now.

Clicking on a few of the sale colorways, it’s easy to see that sizes are already starting to disappear, which is why you shouldn’t wait until the end of this sale to grab one. Whichever color of the Sambas you choose, you can’t go wrong—so grab a pair while you still can.
