Shop Adidas Samba
Sambas popped onto the fashion scene a few years ago and have had a significant impact on the reemergence of low-profile sneakers into the fashion zeitgeist. Since then, many other low Adidas sneakers have risen in popularity. It’s very much a staple among fashion people, and you truly can’t go wrong with grabbing a pair of Sambas. Since they’ve been popular for a while, there are some unique iterations floating around the ether, including the Samba Jane and Sambae styles.

Shop Adidas Tokyo
Tokyo has gained a massive cult following among the fashion set this past year. The sleek and sporty silhouette goes seamlessly with a wide variety of outfits. Once you go to Tokyo, it’s hard to go back to whatever sneakers you were wearing before.
Shop Adidas Handball Spezial
Handball Spezials are known for their gummy soles and often suede uppers. I first noticed them a couple of years ago, worn by cool fashion people during Copenhagen Fashion Week. I was immediately hooked on the light blue style, but so many more cool colorways have popped up since. While created for Handball players, these sneakers have become so much more to stylish people everywhere.
