These leopard print Adidas samba trainers are selling out fast – here's where to shop
Inspired by an archive adidas football boot from the Fifties, the samba had a moment in the sun during the Nineties, but nothing compared to its renaissance in 2022. The style has since amassed more than 1.7 billion views on TikTok, leading to limited edition drops, the launch of more than 70 colourways and approval from the likes of Harry Styles, Hailey Beiber, Kendall Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence.
Made from full-grain leather, the shoes are characterised by a streamlined silhouette, the iconic three stripes and the adidas logo on the tongue.
But with the sambas reaching peak popularity last year, their star began to fade (after all, who wants to wear a trainer that everyone and their mother also has?) Then, Rishi Sunak wore the black and white pair and it seemed the final nail in the coffin for the viral shoe.
Now, the trainer design has had a wild makeover for 2025. The start of the samba redemption arc, the trainers are returning in a pony hair leopard print for the sports brand's upcoming spring/summer collection. The new colourway is, unsurprisingly, selling out fast, so here's everything you need to know. Plus, we've also found a new leopard print version of the SL72's.
A fashionable spin on the hugely popular style, the latest adidas samba trainers are designed to be a style statement in their own right. Characterised by an all-over leopard print, the trainer features the signature white three stripe detailing, tongue and heel, while burnt orange laces and panelling add a playful touch. The style is also available in black stripe with forest green panelling (£100, Adidas.co.uk), for a darker look.
If you missed out on the Wales Bonner x adidas collaboration, the brand's latest design boasts the same textured finish and print but will set you back just £100 (the Wales Bonner style is re-selling for upwards of £500).
Launching today, the trainers are available exclusively on the Adidas app, which you can download using a QR code on the brand's website.
Adidas SL72 leopard print: £90, Adidas.co.uk
Reminiscent of trainers from Adidas's archive in 1972, the silhouette of this style is low profile and streamlined with a playful leopard print finish and orange pops on the laces and sole. Featuring the brand's instantly recognisable three stripes and trefoil logo, the trainers marry comfort and style.

Camper slashes 30% off its iconic bubble heeled sandals that are perfect for summer weddings
Camper might be known for its quirky-come-comfortable footwear, but one of its pairs has become something of an icon thanks to its playful bubble design – and they're now 30% off If there's one thing the fashion set loves more than almost anything else, it's a quirky and unusual shoe. You just need to look at the success of Loewe's unusual footwear designs, which span from cracked egg heels to inflatable balloon-like straps to know that an unusual pair of shoes can be the secret to nailing fashion in a fun but still stylish way. One brand who also manages to toe that line between silly and stylish is Camper, with the Mallorcan footwear brand known for blending comfortable, practical (sometimes verging on orthopedic) footwear with playful, lighthearted designs. And none of their collections do that quite as well as the Kobarah Heels, which are now on sale with 30% off, slashing the price from £120 to £84. Immediately identifiable by their snaking, bubble-like design that looks something between a balloon animal and a sports trainer, the Kobarah heels are actually super easy to wear – and we don't just mean comfort wise. Whilst a quirky shoe might be a bit of a styling sticking point for some, they couldn't be easier to fit into your outfits. Take a summer wedding, for example; you could just as easily wear them with a flowing midi dress in a complementary colour as you could with a colourful trouser suit depending on your style. You can also style them with some wide leg jeans, or even sporty separates like Adidas' track-style shorts of the summer for a more casual occasion. There's also so many different colours to choose from, you'll have no issue finding the right ones to integrate into your wardrobe. The Kobarah heels come in everything from neutrals like black, khaki, navy and white, to bolder, more colourful shades like bubblegum pink, orange and yellow, with 15 different colours in total to pick from. As well as looking great, they're also designed with Camper's traditional comfort in mind, so they're lightweight, cushioned and easy to walk in. They're also made from fully recyclable materials, making them a sustainable choice too. If the snake-inspired design of Camper's Kobarah heels is a little too avant garde for you, you could pick up the flat sandal version for £79 at Free People. There's also some other alternatives with the same quirky, bubble-inspired style, but with a slightly more subtle design. The Sara Mules from JW Pei are available for £89, and have a sleeker kitten heel, with a similar twisting puffy strap around the foot. Similarly, the Yume Yume Gray Love Mules are down to £194 from £340, and have a padded strap with a sculptural silver heart-shaped heel.
