| |  | The adidas Samba is an indoor soccer training shoe. It has been among adidas' most popular, bestselling shoes in recent times. It uses a tan gumsole that distinguishes it from other known adidas models such as the Dragon, Samoa, and Gazelle. The shoe itself was produced in 1950 to enable soccer players to train on icy hard ground (hence the suction on the gumsole). Its original design featured the classic three stripes, as well as the gold trefoil on the foldable tongue.

 Very comfortable, very coolSep 22, 2009
By Si Tucker
What is there to say about these shoes besides the fact that they're very comfortable, feel great (redundancy), and look good? Not much, I guess. What else do you say about shoes? Did I mention that these shoes feel great on the feet, as they would feel anywhere else? Seriously, buy a pair if you're into that whole wearing-shoes thing. $40 or so for a great pair of shoes, very good deal. I mean, you could do a lot worse; you could be spending any money at all on a pair of Crocs. (Whatever America did to deserve those, we sincerely apologize.) Anyway, wearing them with a pair of shorts is fine, but if you're vain when it comes to your legs or you're not quite ready to let your friends know that you too shave the fuzz from your legs, wear these Originals with a pair of trousers, khaki or gray, whatever you're feeling. The shoes are casually athletic, like white guys who say, "Yeah, I play soccer" but in fact have never played soccer for a recreational team and have little-to-none-at-all knowledge about the sport, but the idea sounds good. What's better than running around on green grass, sometimes getting to kick a ball, in short shorts and a jersey, giving yourself and others the impression that you're athletic? You're fooling everyone, don't worry. And after you wipe your forehead and throw your short bangs back, covered in sweat, after you trot over to the sideline, breathing hard, grab a towel, wipe yourself off, sit down in the grass and not the bleachers (on purpose, of course; athletes don't sit in seating apparatuses), take off those hopefully-filthy cleats and slip on these cool-as-hell vintage shoes. I promise they will reinforce your image as an athlete. Did I mention they feel like a foot-rub given by the most beautiful girl in the world? Please, wear these shoes with a sense of honor: be yourself, and for God's sakes, don't pop your collar.

The white/royal blue sambas are really good looking and very comfortable. I dont play soccer and I wear these shoes because of the comfort and the style they have. Very good shoe choice! I would reccomend these for anyone!

 Samba "Original" vs. "Classic"-- KNOW THE DIFFERENCEApr 04, 2012
By J. LAROSA
I have experienced both these pairs. Breakdown:
CLASSIC: adidas Men's Samba Classic Soccer Shoe
- Larger tongue
- easier to slip on/off
- medium/enhanced arch support. If you wear air-soled running shoes, you probably won't even notice. Personally, I'm NOT A FAN.
- The arch support has changed in the last 3 years (the last time I bought this pair). Be warned!
ORIGINALS:adidas Originals Men's Samba Reflective Sneaker
- Smaller tongue
- Old-school arch support (meaning flatter/next to none). I have worn nothing but Chucks and older Sambas happily for many years, and identify with the barefoot-running crowd, so for me, flatter is better.
- Harder to slip on/off, but once it's on, it fits like a glove!
- Yes, they squeak like everyone says. Doesn't bother me, but then again I'm not a movie usher, burglar or otherwise occupied in the skulking arts.
Some people will prefer one over the other. For me, the clear winner is ORIGINALS.

 Good ShoesJan 03, 2007
By R. Lemon
Very comfortable shoes and they fit the purpose. Shoe laces are too short so order an extra pair of these.. These are classic sneakers that beat any of the the new ones out today.

"classic" - a dererved nameNov 01, 2002
By Joseph B. O'Reilly
Indoor soccer shoes come and go but the Samba goes on forever. This shoe design has been around since the 1980's. There are hard-wearing shoes; the soles have great grip and won't wear down easily. The felt toe makes this a longlasting shoe with strength where it's needed most. The stitching will last and last. But the Samba's greatest asset is its comfort. Great for outdoors, too.
