The adidas Samba OG "Cow Print" continues the animal print wave sparked by Wales Bonner's coveted collaborations and the viral inline "Cheetah" Samba. This women's-exclusive colorway features faux pony hair construction with bold cow-spotted patterns in aurora coffee and off-white, capitalizing on the safari-style aesthetic that dominated adidas' 2024-2025 catalog.

Design & Inspiration

Wales Bonner's leopard print Samba collaboration from 2023 ignited adidas' animal print strategy—the inline "Cheetah" Samba that followed became a phenomenon, selling out and restocking countless times throughout 2025 despite lacking designer branding. The "Cow Print" Samba expands this wildlife aesthetic from jungle to farm, using the same textural approach with faux pony hair uppers recreating true-to-life cow patterns through aurora coffee brown splotches on an off-white base. The fold-over tongue is a direct nod to Wales Bonner's signature design language. Black leather overlays dress the three stripes, eyestay, toe box, and heel, while fiery red accents hit the lining and laces for contrast. Gold-foil Samba branding on the lateral side and the classic suede T-toe overlay maintain the model's soccer heritage.

Comfort & Performance

Built on the Samba OG's proven cupsole construction, the shoe features a low-profile gum rubber sole that references the model's 1950s indoor soccer origins. The premium faux pony hair upper delivers unique texture while maintaining the Samba's characteristic slim silhouette. Padded collar and tongue provide all-day comfort, while the cupsole offers durability for everyday wear. The textured upper requires more care than standard leather but delivers standout visual impact that drove TikTok virality for the cheetah predecessor.
