What is the history of Adidas' oldest model "Samba" and what are its four characteristics?

What are the four features of the “adidas Samba” developed for football?

Originally developed for football, this model has many functional attractions. Its stylish appearance and comfort make it a favorite of many fashionable people. Here are four features of the adidas Samba.

Features of the adidas Samba (1) “Non-marking rubber outsole with high grip suction cups

The adidas Samba was developed as a winter football shoe. Three suction cups are attached to the outsole to maximize power even on a frozen, hardened and slippery field, and when weight is applied, the air in the holes escapes to create a vacuum. These shoes are characterized by their ability to catch slippery ground and prevent slipping even on icy ground. This sucker sole, while updated, has been reflected in subsequent Adidas shoes. The non-marking design that leaves no footprints and leaves no rubber marks on the floor, even on indoor courts, is another attractive feature.

adidas Samba’s Feature #2: “Durable and functional full-grain leather and suede materials are used.

The “adidas Samba” has undergone numerous updates. The current standard model uses full-grain leather for the upper. Full-grain leather is the outermost layer of leather and refers to natural leather that has not been processed. It is a material that allows the wearer to enjoy the natural texture of leather, making it an irresistible leather for men. The exquisite shaded accent of the T-shaped suede material placed at the toe is another distinctive detail. The softness and durability of the leather make it easy to use not only on the court, but also in everyday coordination.

adidas Samba features (3) “A red logo shoe tongue that is longer than other items.

The long shoe tongue, characteristic of soccer shoes, was adopted during the update in 1980. It is a detail that was distributed to reduce the impact on the foot when the ball is kicked and other considerations. The simple red logo of Adidas is used on the tongue, and the design is finished with a subtle appeal to the brand.

The iconic Adidas “Three Stripes” detail. The original prototype model did not have these three lines, but through numerous updates, they have been placed on the current Samba’s uppers. The white stripes on the black upper provide a clear contrast that adds a point of interest to the foot. The letters SAMBA, the model’s name, are also placed near the three stripes. The simple, gold-colored font is used to subtly showcase the model’s name.
