Adidas Samba Mesh 'Core Black': The Dark Horse of Summer
When temperatures rise and the sun starts cooking the pavement, you usually shelf your black kicks in favor of bright tones. Whites, neons, color pops — that’s summer style.
When temperatures rise and the sun starts cooking the pavement, you usually shelf your black kicks in favor of bright tones. Whites, neons, color pops — that’s summer style. But Adidas has a different idea. The new Samba Mesh ‘Core Black’ breaks the rules. Built for heat, but made for night owls.
The Samba debuted in the ’40s, and its look hasn’t changed much since — suede, classic shape, gum sole. But summer 2025 brings a twist: breathable black mesh replaces suede, leather accents on toe and heel, and reflective laces and stripes that shine in the dark. Party-ready, day or night.
The sole? No more gum — just an all-black base. Trefoil logo on the tongue seals the deal: retro soul, modern street edge.
Hype may have cooled since the Samba craze peaked. But Adidas keeps delivering. Samba 62, Samba LT, and now Mesh — clean, wearable, and best of all, affordable. £100 and you're in.
Drops this summer on Adidas’ site, Confirmed app, and select retailers. Want to stand out without screaming? These kicks say it for you.
