adidas, while focusing heavily on bringing back the past, has not forsaken the future as it gears to bring back the iconic Samba silhouette in a much more updated tooling complete with Boost technology. Prepped right in time for the advent of 2019, the newest iteration — which adds an “RM” tagline to its namesake — is quite a far cry from the original as it ushers in a sleek upper, translucent blue sole unit, and some fitting branding hits. The tongue has been toned down quite a bit, as its minimal appearance is a welcome departure from the norm, extending throughout the rest of the design as overlays and accompanying panels are done up in a similar fashion. Palette is dark, keeping in line with Triple Black motifs with the sole serving as a point of contrast. Logo hits along the lateral heel, spell out the model as S4M3A, completing this more modern revival. Expect to find these hitting the select retailers below come January 1st, 2019.
