It’s no secret that the Adidas Samba is one of the trendiest models this year. Everyone is wearing them. The revival of the classic sneaker is here. Now, American professional skater Jason Dill is adding fuel to the fire with the upcoming release of the Fucking Awesome x Adidas Samba Core Black. The latest sneaker in the well-established collaboration between Adidas and Fucking Awesome stands out for its simplicity and may even be better than the regular Samba.

Made entirely in black leather, the Fucking Awesome version of the popular Samba features the white three stripes logo on the lateral and medial panels, with serrated edges. The heel is also white, and underneath the foot, the usual rubber midsole has been replaced with a translucent black one that offers a bit more comfort and much more grip, perfect for large skatepark loops. Although you don’t need to be a professional skater to wear them.

The Fucking Awesome logo, in graffiti style, is embossed on the tongue, while custom graphics are in gold on the insoles. All packaged in a special edition Adidas shoebox and comes with an extra pair of laces, which is always appreciated.

Certainly, Fucking Awesome is not the only brand riding the Samba wave. In March, Ronnie Fieg and Clarks wowed the sneaker world with their version of the classic silhouette, and Sporty & Rich and Wales Bonner also collaborated early in the season. It is said that JJJJound will release their model later in the year, so if you are a true Samba enthusiast, start saving now.

The Fucking Awesome x Adidas Samba Core Black is available on the official websites of Adidas, Fucking Awesome, and selected retailers worldwide. As for the price, it’s expected to be around 120 euros.
