Nice, far too much red in them though.

Made the mistake of chuckin mine in washin machine and thus fuckin up the fronts, touch of super glue but they still looked/look a mess.

They dis-color round the back from jeans too easily imo but blame meself for not takin a can of Nubuck to em !

Much prefer Münchens and Trimm Trabs for a better lighter fit and much easier to maintain.

Still luv original Samba's tho Gazelle's these days for some reason come up too narrow on me :(

Can never go wrong with Nike UpTowns (AF1s) got about 12 pairs on me rack.

Saw the aftermath of your washing machine experiment mate.....nil point.
Another pair id love to get are the Adidas indoor super, any helpers.

the City shop used to sell trainers with the city badge on about 20 years ago - similar to reebok classics - dont think they were massive sellers

Has anyone heard of Adidas Samoa?

I've got a pair, never seen them advertised or heard of them since I bought them.

They're not a pair of snides are they!

Seen Samoa's the other night on the size? website.

These...

and these are my current favourites...

BTH.......
before I google, the cord Samba's are they a readily available reissue, or just from your collection??

A few years back Adidas done a denim kick and they were sex!! Would love those Samba Cords!!

Yes, they are from my collection. I've had them a few years now and wear them sparingly. As another poster has said, they are adidas Consortium and were very limited, so not readily available. Kepp looking on ebay; a pair may come up.
