Quick Summary
The adidas Samba has cycled through platform soles, pony hair, premium collaborations, and a long string of seasonal colorways, and for Summer 2026 the brand is giving it a decidedly feminine turn with the "Lace & Pearls" colorway. The update keeps the Samba's low, familiar profile intact while layering in softer materials and delicate ornamental details that push it well outside the shoe's indoor football origins.
Cream leather covers the majority of the upper, while brown suede appears on the T-toe, eyestays, Three Stripes, and heel tab. The palette is restrained and easy to wear, which lets the smaller details carry the design. Lace trim runs beneath the eyestays, and a pearl bow rests across the laces as a removable accent, meaning wearers can pull it off entirely for a cleaner, more classic look. Gold "Samba" lettering marks the lateral side of the shoe, metallic adidas branding lands on the tongue, and the signature gum sole closes out the construction below.
The adidas Samba "Lace & Pearls" is set to release during Summer 2026 through adidas and select adidas retailers. No exact date or retail price has been confirmed at this time.
