Are Adidas Sambas /fa/?

IMO they're a good cheap alternative to GATs.

Real GATs are shit, at least the Sambas last longer. The white ones make a good beater shoe.

/fa/ concensus on samabas:

classic, very comfortable shoe that can be nice when worn with casual clothes. and the white one's are cooler.

once you learn how to flip the tongue in, yes.

>>10759558
there's a short tongue version

>>10759580
Yes but that version has other changes that suck

>>10759492
there good for indoor soccer

This really. I got my sambas on a nostalgic whim and forgot about the tongue. I saw they had the alternative but yeah.. not the same. I love my sambas, and often get compliments on them. The white ones are definitely cooler, but I'm a scrub who wears all black so.. yeah.

Adidas Hamburgs or Spezials look better imo.

word i want a pair of white ones

they need to reissue the sambas like they did with stans and get em done in better leather etc

I didn't like my Sambas. Had the long-tongue version and they needed insoles to not kill my feet, then after less than a year of light wear the lining fell apart. Shoes still look like new on the outside.

got vintage short tongue ones for 25 euros in berlin. shame I could only find the black ones, but the flat silhouette is still cool.

Recommend.

>>10759588
what changes other than the shorter tongue?

I personally like that version a little more because of the blue print and the heel logo

I've had a pair of sambas that I've worn as all-purpose shoes for ~4 years now and they are still intact albeit a bit scuffed.

spezial and universal are more /fa/

>>10759492
