- The FW26 collection releases October 16, 2026 through Song for the Mute and adidas.
Song for the Mute and adidas Originals are back with a new Fall/Winter 2026 collection, and this release reworks two archive runners at once. The Australian label pairs a reimagined Samba OG, cataloged as the SFTM 010, with a brand new SL 72 PRO, cataloged as the SFTM 011, wrapped in a muted, earthy color story built around apparel and accessories to match.
This is the latest chapter in a partnership that has already reworked the Adizero EVO SL and produced multiple Samba variations under the Song for the Mute name. JustFreshKicks has tracked the pairing’s past Series 006 collection and the more recent EVO SL release, and this FW26 lineup continues the label’s slow design approach of stripping sport silhouettes down to raw materials and worn in finishes. Shoppers can browse the wider adidas lineup for other reissues, and this FW26 collection will be sold at adidas.com alongside Song for the Mute’s own site.
The Song for the Mute x adidas Originals FW26 Collection (Samba OG SFTM 010 and SL 72 PRO SFTM 011) Design
The Samba OG SFTM 010 takes the biggest structural swing of the two. Its standout feature is a collapsible, crumpled heel that flattens down so the shoe can be worn as a slip on mule. The upper mixes soft leather with suede overlays, kept minimal on branding, with tonal stitching tracing the Three Stripes instead of a bold logo treatment. A traditional, partly translucent gum outsole keeps a tie back to the original Samba. It comes in three understated colorways: “Black,” “Brown,” and “Green.”
The SL 72 PRO SFTM 011 goes in a heavier, more technical direction. It swaps the vintage runner’s slim build for a tall, stacked rocker midsole, while the upper combines woven fabric panels with suede overlays in a patchwork layout. Rope laces and a naturally faded finish give the shoe a worn in, handmade look that leans into utility as much as fashion. It arrives in “Collegiate Green,” “Beige,” and “Off White.” A companion apparel capsule of track tops, track pants, shorts, tees, and accessories rounds out the release in the same earthy tones.
What Makes the Song for the Mute Samba OG SFTM 010 Different From a Regular Samba?
Its heel is built to collapse flat, turning the classic low top into a slip on mule while keeping the suede and leather upper and gum sole of the original Samba OG.
