Adidas Velosamba

The model rings a bell, doesn't it? And what I'm sure it also rings a bell is part of the last name of this adidas.

But⊠Velosamba? The first thing that comes to our mind is⊠are they for cycling? Well indeed, this model with a classic feel called the adidas Velosamba is the adidas Samba adapted for pedaling, both in the city and indoors. As with everything else, its urban style will make this streetshoe your favorite, just like its beloved adidas Samba predecessor.

CyclingShoe

As we have mentioned, the Velosamba Cycling is perfect to combine with any look as well as for cycling. What the designers of the German brand have done is to add a design compatible with two-bolt cleats, as well as a reinforced midsole from the heel area to the toes, which provides power to the pedal strokes and optimal flexion when walking.

Origin

This model has been with us since 1950, when the founder of the German brand Adi Dassler created the adidas Samba as a high-performance shoes. Surely the great Adi did not think that one of his first shoes would end up being the favorite of soccer fans in the 80s and currently the most desired shoe by urban fashion lovers.

General characteristics and details of the adidas Velosamba

Although adidas has tried to maintain the essence of the original Samba, as it is considered a shoe suitable for cycling, it is inevitable that certain characteristic areas of the model have been modified to provide greater durability.

The adidas Velosamba maintains its essence by keeping its classic last with the 3 on the sides, as well as its synthetic leather reinforcement in the shape of a 'T'.

Something that has completely caught our attention and makes this shoe change from its original are both the sole and tongue .

Starting with the outsole, we can check its double reinforcement, doubling the height compared to the adidas Samba. They have created this design due to the introduction of the two-screw cleat on each foot, in order to be able to ride a bike as well as walk. What these cleats do is to provide a more efficient and safer ride with the bike.

As for the tongue, what has caught our attention has been the adidas logo in red, which unlike the adidas samba and not being one of its original models, has the logo of the 3 stripes instead of the trefoil.

Vegan and recycled materialsShoe

adidas works every day to be a greener brand, worrying about reducing its dependence on virgin materials and that its vegan alternatives contain at least 25% recycled material, as is the case of this Velosamba model.

Made from synthetic leather, this vegan-friendly shoe is made from animal-free materials, including a rubber sole, nylon insole and textile lining.
