With the new year just around the corner, sneaker brands are preparing for their annual Lunar New Year footwear collections. With this year being the Year of the Snake, the Samba OG has gotten dressed up in celebratory prints, coming soon.
The Lunar New Year holiday is coming up early next year, falling on January 29th, 2025. Each year brings us a variety of new sneaker releases themed around the Zodiac animal for that lunar cycle, and 2025 will be the Year of the Snake. We’ve already seen a small assortment of pairs pop up from Nike, including the Air Force 1 and Jordan 11, as well as rumors of the adidas AE1 making an appearance. Now, another Three Stripes shoe has joined their collection; the Samba OG.
2024 has been a big year for the Samba, with the classic trainer circling back into popularity and being features in a huge assortment of collaborative releases. Now, adidas is giving the shoe a special in-house twist for their Lunar New Year series. The Snake edition of the silhouette comes in a crisp white leather upper, adding black snakeskin leather stripes. Between the stripes is an added woven pattern that nods to traditional Asian prints, which also appears on the blood red heel tabs.
