Adidas Sambas OG sneakers have been the biggest shoe trend over the past couple of years. This iconic soccer shoe has gone from the field to the closets of the most fashionable women around the world, including A-list celebrities like Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, and Hailey Bieber. (They’ve been a constant in my own wardrobe for years now, too!)

Sambas’ narrow shape and sleek design make these retro sneakers a true wardrobe staple that goes with everything in your closet. Did I mention they’re also super practical? 

If you’re thinking about adding this iconic sneaker to your collection or need fresh ideas on how to style them, you’re in the right place. Ahead, I’m sharing a huge curated list of Adidas Samba outfits that showcase the best ways to wear them all year long — including my fave ways to style them. 

With a blazer and jeans.

Black Sambas look good with anything but pairing them with a black blazer makes it look like you put a lot of effort in (even when you didn’t).

To keep the look casual, I’d stick with a perfect white tee shirt and vintage-inspired jeans – these Miro Jeans are my fave. Draping a sweater over my shoulders is a backup warm layer in case I get cold and gives the outfit a model-off-duty vibe.

With white jeans and a leather jacket.

Sambas are the sneakers I reach for whenever I want a comfortable, practical shoe that doesn’t compromise on style. Whether I’m grabbing coffee, doing some window shopping, or heading out for a low-key dinner, I can count on them to add a fashion-forward touch. 

Here, I’ve layered this Lilysilk cashmere sweater over my favorite white tee shirt then paired off-white Levi’s jeans and this incredible distressed leather jacket from Quince. Classic black Sambas add a subtle, sporty touch. 

With cotton shorts and a graphic tee.

These collegiate green sambas add a surprising (yet totally wearable) pop of color with boxer-style shorts and a laid-back tee shirt. Style with a slouchy denim jacket and an oversized tote bag, like this Anine Bing one, for a breezy look perfect for warm spring and summer days.

With a matching sweat set.

This next Sambas outfit is my go-to on days when I don’t feel like getting dressed.

In my opinion, a matching sweat set is the best way to stay comfortable but look more elevated. Aritzia makes my all-time favorite sweatpants and half-zip sweatshirts—I’ve been practically living in this gray set on the weekends. It’s so soft. If I need to pop outside, I style them with a puffer vest, a chic crossbody, and, of course, Sambas – these creamy 0ff-white and black ones are my most worn pair. 

With a trench coat.

This next Adidas Samba outfit is a total vibe. Classic white Sambas pair perfectly with an everyday ensemble with this perfect black tee shirt and off-white jeans.

Complete the look with this elevated trench coat, luxe sunglasses, and a carry-all bag.

With cargo jeans and a ribbed knit top.

Upgrade a typical “jeans and a white shirt” outfit with Agolde cooper cargo jeans and a ribbed knit top (similar style here).

This foolproof combination is a no-brainer choice when I want an easy, fashionable outfit I can wear on repeat. When it comes to shoes, a pair of neutral Sambas perfectly finish off the look.

Also, pair with my favorite leather pouch bag from Quince

With athleisure.

I absolutely love how this Adidas Samba outfit combines athleisure with elevated wardrobe basics. The Lululemon leggings, baseball cap, and Anine Bing sweatshirt have a sporty chic vibe, while the trench coat adds a polished layer.

Pair with Sambas and you have the perfect spring or fall outfit. 

With a suede jacket and dark wash denim.

For the fall, you can style Adidas Sambas with dark wash jeans (these are the Miro jeans in Bravo wash), a white tee shirt, and a suede jacket.

I love how this suede jacket (wearing a size small in mens) elevates the entire look while still giving it a laid-back aesthetic.

With a tailored coat.

If you love chic basics, this next Sambas outfit is for you. This easy-to-recreate look comprises a basic tee shirt, my light wash barrel jeans, black cardigan, and a pair of burgundy Sambas.

I’ve also added this tailored wool coat from Quince to give the outfit a more polished feel. 

With a sweater and barrel jeans.

Barrel jeans instantly add a funky, trendy touch to an Adidas Samba outfit. Not to mention, their cropped hem is the perfect cut to show off your cool-girl sneakers.

I styled them here with a fuzzy cashmere sweater, but you could also wear a tee shirt or cardigan for a similar look.

With cohesive colors.

Matching your baseball hat to your Sambas makes for an easy street-style look. My burgundy Anine Bing cap pairs perfectly with my burgundy Adidas sneakers, but any color combination would look great.

Add in some warmth with an oversized suede jacket and classic blue jeans

With a midi dress and leather jacket.

If looking casual is your goal, pair your dress with Samba sneakers instead of heels or boots. I love this simple poplin skirt dress from Aritzia. 

I added a distressed leather jacket to give this OOTD even more contrast. The balance of different styles feels so effortless!

With a white tee shirt and jeans.

Make the most of your wardrobe basics—a white tee shirt and denim jeans (these are the Agolde 90s)—with a colorful pair of Sambas.

This collegiate green pair is the perfect pop of color for my (mostly) neutral wardrobe and adds a special touch to an everyday look. I’ve styled this transitional fall outfit with an oversized tailored coat from Mango, a crossbody bag, and a sweater over my shoulders.

With leggings and a comfy sweater.

Bundled up in black leggings and a cozy sweater is one of my favorite outfits for laid-back days running errands or hanging around the house. If I’m heading out, I’ll throw on my go-to Sambas with an equally cozy oversized coat (here’s a similar style from Quince).

Luxe accessories, like my Chanel wallet on a chain bag, bring an elevated touch to the outfit.

With a black coat and white jeans.

For a classic yet casual look, try pairing off-white jeans with a gray sweater and a cozy black wrap coat. I love the idea of styling a black-and-white outfit with matching Sambas and a classy mini bag for an off-duty vibe.

With statement jeans and a white tee.

Instead of wearing your Sambas with basic jeans, pair them with leopard print jeans (mine are from Mango) for a stylish twist on your everyday uniform.

I love wearing mine with my Jil Sander tee and oversized denim jacket for a cool yet casual outfit. If you want to avoid a maximalist look, stick to neutral Sambas like the tried-and-true cream and black colorway.

With leggings and a denim jacket.

Here’s another Adidas Samba outfit featuring a base of black Align leggings and a cream sweater. I’ve opted for a vintage-looking Levi’s denim jacket (it’s actually my hubby’s) that matches the retro vibe of the Sambas and gives the whole outfit a ‘90s aesthetic. 

With a matching gym set.

It doesn’t matter if you’re actually heading to the gym or not—wearing your Sambas with a matching workout set looks so cute! In the winter, I’ll throw on this Quince puffer jacket for a cozy layer.

With a fun jacket.

Fashion girlies know the easiest way to dress up a simple Sambas outfit is with a fun jacket.

I’m obsessed with the casual western vibe this fringe suede jacket has (this one I’m wearing is from Jigsaw, but here is a similar style from Reformation), but any statement outerwear will do the trick!

With a barn jacket and cool accessories.

You can never go wrong with a perfect black tee shirt and classic blue jeans. It’s one of my go-to outfit bases when I don’t know what to wear!

Styling with coordinating accessories like a black belt, studded shoulder bag, barn jacket (this everlane one is my favorite), and Adidas Sambas make this easy outfit much more chic.

With an all-gray outfit.

One of the best ways to style colorful Sambas is by pairing them with a monochrome outfit.

Emily’s all-gray ensemble of baggy wide-leg jeans and a button-up cardigan is sweet yet simple. Plus, it really makes the blue sneakers pop!

With a silk skirt.

Styling a pair of Sambas with a silk maxi skirt is a perfect example of the viral wrong-shoe-theory.

Personally, I love the contrast between the oh-so-casual sporty sneaker and the romantic silk slip skirt. A chunky sweater, leather bomber jacket, and Louis Vuitton bucket bag pull everything together, so the outfit feels effortlessly mismatched.

With black jeans and a cool jacket.

If you love wearing dark colors, especially in the fall and winter, save this next Adidas Samba outfit for your moodboard.

To get the laid-back look, style Sambas with an all-black base, then add a dark brown coat like this oversized aviator jacket. I love the contrast white sneakers have against black jeans, but you could also opt for a black pair. 

With pops of red.

Red has been a prominent color trend these past couple of years, and this Sambas outfit proves why it’s so impactful! A simple base of dark wash jeans, a camel-colored knit, a plaid blazer, and a matching jacket has an academic aesthetic that’s perfect for crisp autumn days. 

Paris-based Elodie loves adding a playful touch of red to her outfits. Take note of how she wore her red and white Adidas Samba sneakers with matching burgundy accessories.
