Adidas Originals Samba OG — Retro Classic Lightweight Low-Top Skate Shoe
The original. The Adidas Originals Samba OG is the shoe that started it all — first introduced in 1950 as an indoor football training shoe, the Samba has since become one of the most enduring and culturally significant sneaker silhouettes in history. The OG designation means exactly that: this is the Samba in its most authentic, unaltered form, built to the original specifications that made it iconic.
Design Story
Seven decades of cultural relevance don’t happen by accident. The Samba OG has been worn on football pitches, skate parks, dance floors, and runways — a silhouette so perfectly proportioned that it has never needed reinvention. The HQ6912 colorway brings a fresh, considered palette to the OG form — wearable, refined, and unmistakably Samba. This is the shoe that proves some designs are simply correct from the beginning.

Wear It
