With a legacy that extends back more than 65 years back, the Adidas Samba is one of the brand's most iconic and best-selling silhouettes. Introduced in the 50s as a soccer shoe, the Samba has remained relevant and evolved along with each era of footwear. It's latest adaptation sees the model re-tooled for skating.

The remixed version, the Adidas Samba ADV, is built with a durable suede and leather upper, internal mesh bootie, molded heel clip, direction tread, molded sockliner and classic cupsole. The result is a shoe that meets the demands of today's skater in terms of comfort, board control and grip.

Retailing for $75, the Adidas Samba ADV will release at adidas.com/skateboarding and specialty Adidas retailers in the U.S. on Jan. 1.
