Adidas launches safari‑print Sambas as designers debut new summer sneakers

Adidas introduced a new version of its classic Samba sneaker featuring a beige‑brown giraffe‑pattern, positioning it as a summer alternative to the traditional white sneaker. The Safari‑Samba retains the iconic three‑stripe detailing and rubber sole while offering a natural‑look animal print that pairs with a range of casual outfits.

Other brands rolled out fresh models for the season: Dolce & Gabbana unveiled the Lipari sneaker in six luxury colorways crafted from calf and lamb leather; PUMA refreshed its iconic Suede Classic with three new colorways under the “Never Not Suede” campaign; and Vans teamed with Japanese streetwear label BAPE to release a Knu Skool sneaker in two camouflage‑style colorways. In Brazil, a designer sneaker is being offered at half price, highlighting a parallel retail promotion.

These releases underscore the ongoing emphasis on heritage silhouettes reimagined with contemporary styling and limited‑edition collaborations.
