Adidas' sell-out leopard print sambas will return on this date
When it comes to trainers, the Adidas samba is as ubiquitous as it gets. In the last couple of years, it's been nearly impossible to walk down the street without spotting their recognisable design. Breathing fresh life into the popular shoe, the sports brand has put a playful spin on the style for 2025. The trainers have returned in a pony hair leopard print finish for spring/summer, as well as a divisive cow print in collaboration with Asos that sold out within just minutes (yes, really). 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. However, 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?) But the shoe's wild make-over has marked the start of the samba redemption arc. A direct challenge to the 'quiet luxury' and 'clean girl' trends that have dominated in recent years, the leopard print trainers are gloriously garish with a pony hair finish and contrasting orange laces. Proving leopard print really is a neutral, they're also far more wearable than you might think. If you missed out the first time around, both the leopard print samba and SL72 trainers will be back in stock soon. Here's everything you need to know. Adidas SL72 leopard print: £90, – available 7 April 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 soles. Featuring the brand's instantly recognisable three stripes and trefoil logo, the trainers marry comfort and style. True to form, the trainers are comfortable and bouncy, with a supportive and cushioned sole. Though statement, the pony hair leopard print finish is neutral enough to slot seamlessly into your wardrobe. Whether styled with barrel-leg jeans or with a grey two-piece suit, the SL72s are an easy way to inject character into your outfits. A fashionable spin on the hugely popular style, the 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, 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). The trainers sold out within days, but will be back in stock on 7 April 2025 – so, mark the date in your calendar.

Adidas Falls After Profit Outlook Overshadows Retro Sneaker Boom
(Bloomberg) -- Adidas AG fell after the German sportswear brand said earnings will grow slower this year than investors expected, even as it builds momentum with its retro footwear. How Upzoning in Cambridge Broke the YIMBY Mold Republican Mayor Braces for Tariffs: 'We Didn't Budget for This' Remembering the Landscape Architect Who Embraced the City NYC's Finances Are Sinking With Gauge Falling to 11-Year Low US Tent Facility is Holding Migrant Families Longer Than Recommended The company expects operating profit of €1.7 billion ($1.8 billion) to €1.8 billion this year, it said in a statement Wednesday, short of the €2.07 billion expected by analysts. Though Adidas has a reputation for conservative guidance — it raised its outlook three times last year — analysts said the latest figures would likely weigh on its shares at least in the short-term. Adidas shares fell as much as 3.9% in Frankfurt. They are up about 32% in the past year through Tuesday's close, outperforming rivals Nike Inc. and Puma SE. 'We would be buyers on weakness,' RBC Capital Markets analyst Piral Dadhania said in a research note, adding he expects Adidas to deliver revenue and earnings 'well above' the guidance range. Chief Executive Officer Bjorn Gulden, now in his third year at the helm, is looking to continue building a new era of growth at a brand that had descended into repeated crises earlier this decade. Previously the CEO of Puma, he's known for flexibility and fast decision-making — and for offering low earnings forecasts early in the year and trying to repeatedly outperform them. Investors have responded positively to Gulden's back-to-basics focus on sports and pragmatic approach to developing new footwear and apparel. He is also credited with managing the fallout from Adidas' canceled partnership with the rapper and designer Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. Demand is still booming for retro sneaker models including the Samba and Campus, which have generated buzz for the brand in the past two years. Adidas has introduced more retro kicks like the SL72 running shoe and thin-soled Tokyo trainer. The popularity of these models has prompted Gulden to delay the return of the 1970s-era Superstar basketball shoes, since he doesn't want to flood the market with three-stripe footwear. He is hoping to close the gap with Nike, which while struggling, is still the industry leader. Adidas is also seeing strong uptake for its sports gear, including Predator football boots and the Adizero franchise of running shoes, it said. Currency-neutral sales will probably grow at a high-single-digit rate in 2025, the company said, which is in line with estimates. Excluding the defunct Yeezy franchise, the brand expects to keep growing at a double-digit rate. In the fourth quarter, Adidas sales grew 16% in Greater China and 25% in Europe. It also grew 15% in North America, a market long dominated by Oregon-based Nike and where Adidas previously struggled. The company sold off the remainder of its Yeezy inventory in the fourth quarter. During 2024, those products generated €650 million in revenue. The final sales came more than two years after it ended the partnership.

Adidas's cow print trainers have dropped – and they're selling fast
From Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl bootleg jeans to suede everything, the fashion world is going wild for a Western-inspired style. But Adidas has just taken it one step further by dropping a new trainer in an all-over cow print. Putting a fresh spin on the ubiquitous samba and the sleek SL72 style, the bold print is exclusive for Asos – and it's already selling out. It's official, cow print is on its way to steal leopard print's crown this season. Rearing its head at Copenhagen Fashion Week in January, it went on to dominate street style looks in New York, coating everything from handbags to heels. A playful take on the Western aesthetic, cowboy print rose to prominence in the Sixties among bohemian dressers before having a comeback in the Nineties thanks to the decade's trend for minimalism. Now, it's returned again as a direct challenge to the clean girl and quiet luxury trends. There are plenty of ways to wear it, from head-turning leather coats to ballet flats or trousers (after all, the monochrome print is just as neutral as leopard print). But if you prefer a more understated pop of cow print, trainers are the way to go. Enter the Adidas x Asos SL72 style that's luckily still in stock (at the time of writing). So, here's everything you need to know about the new trainer in the season's hottest print. A fresh alternative to the prevalent Adidas samba, the SL72 trainers boast a more streamlined silhouette. Reminiscent of trainers from Adidas's archive in 1972, the design of this style is low profile and slick with a playful cow print finish, pink pops on the sole and black laces. Featuring the brand's instantly recognisable three stripes and trefoil logo, the trainers marry comfort and style. Trust us, the print is more wearable than you might think. Whether you play it safe with an all-denim look (lean into the Western feel) or experiment with colour by pairing them with red, blue or butter-yellow pieces, the monochrome print is sure to add intrigue to your look.
