Few sneakers, or footwear in general, have transcended generations and fashion fads quite like Adidas Sambas. These cult-favorite shoes were first introduced in 1949 and were designed to provide extra support for soccer players on slippery pitches, but they quickly became so much more. Sambas gained mainstream popularity in the 1970s, largely due to their association with famous actors and musicians, including the members of Oasis, and have maintained their status ever since.

Sneakerheads from the 1990s and early 2000s, and even today, consider Adidas Sambas to be the ultimate sleek, minimalist footwear. Prominent artists, from Rihanna to Olivia Rodrigo, have even been spotted wearing them during their daily strolls. So, if you want to take part in the sneaker that started its own subculture, there’s no better time to do it than this weekend — since they’re on sale for more than 20% off.
