The History of the XXXX Samba
The XXXX Samba wasn’t always an indoor soccer sneaker. In fact, the sneaker started out as a solution to ice-covered pitches in the UK, as the limited selection of options were neither fully functional nor well-made. Back in the 1940s, adidas founder and designer Adi Dassler, made the very first Samba specifically to provide traction on icy soccer fields. Over the years, the shoe went through a series of modifications to its shape and design, to adapt to other sports and ***iterations*** of soccer. 5-A-Side courts were beginning to pop up across Europe in the 1970s and with its use of turf grounds, the Samba would be the sneaker of choice thanks to its traction-heavy outsole. In the 1990s, skateboarders discovered the shoe’s unbeatable traction and would wear them to assist with landing their various tricks. The Samba has worn many hats within its over 80-year span and has now, somewhat surprisingly, entered a new playing field: the runway.
