The adidas Samba has returned in its original form this year, and now, adidas is using the classic turf trainer to celebrate both the music of Bob Marley and Amsterdam’s AFC Ajax football club with a new limited-edition colorway.

Bob Marley’s music was never meant to remain strictly in Jamaica. Beloved by people around the world, the reggae artist’s tunes have become cherished anthems in numerous countries the world over. One of these such places is Amsterdam, who’s relationship with Marley may lean a little more towards his love of weed, but I digress. This week, the adidas Originals team unveiled a new limited-edition release of the Samba OG, celebrating both Bob Marley as well as Amsterdam soccer team AFC Ajax. This release pairs the colors of Ajax’s third jersey (also the colors largely associated with Marley and his music) with a jet black leather upper, as well as Three Little Bird graphics to complete the look.
