Sambas are basic?!
Don't get me wrong, we all love our sambas. From Pinterest and Instagram and just looking around campus, we are getting way too familiar with the classic Adidas style. They're comfortable, versatile, and undeniably iconic. But let's face it: they're starting to feel a bit...basic. It’s time to get creative and ditch the shoes that every girl and guy in your class is wearing.
Here are some options to branch out and embrace your inner cool self.
Serve retro chic in these sick kicks. Known for their comfort and durability, Onitsuka Tigers are a timeless classic that combines style and functionality. Whether you're hitting the streets or hitting the gym, these sneakers are perfect for any occasion.
We have all witnessed the uprise of the grandpa sneaker. Whether you love them or hate them, you have to admit they are here to stay. This blend of modern and classic is the perfect combination that you can rock wherever.
These futuristic sneakers have avant-garde design elements that set them apart. Nike offers the sickest colorways, from neutrals to fun colors, all guaranteed to make heads turn.
Ok, with this pick, I’m just being biased. These have quickly become my favorite everyday sneakers. Something about the color blends so well with all washes of denim, and I’m obsessed.
This chic new version of the Samba has been slowly an underdog this year. With blends of both men's and women's streetwear featuring this sneaker including its vast color combinations allow for a pop of color, a hint of texture, and a bold sneaker fit for any season.
Sambas will always have their place in our hearts (and closets), but it’s time to branch out. Call me a hater if you want, but don't take offense. Sambas were guaranteed the hottest shoe of the summer and even into fall, but deviating from the norm is hotter.
Embrace the season with rich textures, cozy layers, and unexpected pairings like a statement trench or chunky knit. Fall is all about mixing timeless staples with bold, fresh pieces—because standing out is always in style.
