Heritage football remains a major focus for football, not only in spawning the brand’s current lifestyle titans, but additionally in coloring special edition pairs of those same shoes. After a “Germany” Samba hit the newswire for their national team’s 125th anniversary, a momentous opportunity for Mexico is now influencing the adidas Samba, clad entirely in black and gold.

Already, the adidas Samba “Mexico” is confirmed to “belong to an exclusive range by adidas, [including] a striking match kit.” If you’re reading the tea leaves and early info on that front, the Mexican jerseys for CONCACAF are almost assuredly the inspiration. On top of the paired gold-on-black colorway, the tiled patterning shining through on embossed print atop the Three Stripes branding matches the dominant theme from these upcoming jerseys. Some final notes of intrigue rest with the golden eagle, perched on the tongue and the sock-liner, and the mesh foundation that this “Mexico” Samba utilizes, swapping into more breathable fare given its on-court intentions.

The adidas Samba “Mexico” releases on March 14th via adidas and partnering retailers, carrying a $100 sticker price upon arrival.
