Pharrell x adidas Humanrace is one of the most fruitful sneaker partnerships of the modern era, and it’s never failed at capturing trending styles and aesthetics. With warm weather uniforms calling for low-top lifestyle essentials, the duo clocks in with a fresh adidas Samba delivery featuring six different color-swatched pairs.
As with previous Humanrace Sambas, the shoes come crafted with premium materials and tasteful detail enhancements. Visible stitching appears on the stripes and tongue of each pair, as does leather sock lining and a semi-detached heel panel that extends downward toward the sole. Keeping with those uniform elements, grey leather and suede appears consistently across the pack. Color options include contemporary black and white pairs, as well as bright red, blue, green, and yellow treatments.
Given the shoes’ upgraded construction and Pharrell imprint, they’re marked with a lofty $170 price tag, a far cry from the mainline model’s $100 mark but lower than other Humanrace Sambas in recent memory. Look for pairs to hit adidas.com on May 15th.
