The adidas Samba Gets Zipped Up for Winter

The adidas Samba is getting another cold-weather update, with a new three-pair pack adding suede zippered shrouds across the top of the classic terrace silhouette.

Rather than completely rebuilding the Samba, adidas keeps the familiar low-profile shape intact and adds a suede panel over the tongue and laces. A zipper runs directly down the center, giving each pair a more covered-up look while still allowing the shroud to open and reveal the traditional tongue underneath.

Three colorways have surfaced so far. A black pair keeps things understated with grey Three Stripes and tonal tooling, while a brown suede version brings in purple branding and stripes. The third option mixes blue suede with black overlays and grey detailing. All three pairs are finished with black rubber around the toe and outsole, giving the pack a slightly more rugged feel for the colder months.

The construction leans heavily into suede, with contrast stitching and exposed texture adding to the seasonal look. The zipper treatment is the obvious centerpiece, but the shoes still retain the Samba branding and familiar Three Stripes placement along the sides.

The new adidas Samba zipper pack is already available through select retailers overseas. A wider U.S. release is expected in November 2026, with retail likely landing around $110 per pair.
