The company Adidas was established in 1949 by Adi Dassler in a little town of Herzogenaurach, Germany. Over the years, this little company ended up skyrocketing into the mainstream.

By the 1970’s these shoes were everywhere and everyone wanted a pair of Adidas. One of the original manufactured shoes was called the Samba, which was made to enable football players to play on icy grounds. 

Recently the Samba has come back into the spotlight more specifically the fashion spotlight. According to CNN Undiscovered Writer, Sophie Shaw, the reason the shoe has become so popular again is because of the versatility. The Samba is fashionable but also very comfortable making them a one of a kind shoe.

At Kelly Walsh High School, the Samba has become a big trend with many people wearing the shoes in its many different colorways. Adidas’s shoes are more popular than some of the other high end name brands amongst many at Kelly Walsh. 

“Sambas became even more popular than before when recent big celebrities started wearing them. They are used so much today in fashion because they are so versatile and have so many different colors”, said senior Braden Shelton. 

Kids are seen wearing the classic black and white, green, leopard print, white, gold, and so many other colors. Adidas has created the shoe in every colorway ever imaginable and they keep coming out constantly with new ones. 

Adidas has been releasing different versions of the Samba for years with some of the most popular being the OG, and the Classic. The OG is made out of suede and leather and has the classic three stripes along the side. The Classic is very similar to the OG but it’s made for soccer players with an extended tongue and lightweight construction.

“I believe that Adidas are becoming so popular and a big part of fashion because of how well rounded they are. You can wear them with anything and there’s such a large selection of different styles”, said sophomore Delliah Hedlund.

There is a common agreement with the reason they’ve become such a staple in the fashion world but how long will the trend last? According to HypeBeast Writer, Andrea Sacal, the trend cycle changes constantly and it dictates that another fashion trend must replace the Samba such as another low cut shoe. 

Fashion changes constantly and as the hype begins to fade something new comes out and that becomes the new trend the whole world is crazy about.
