Snapshot of the Past:
The name is extracted from the popular Brazilian genre of music "Samba". Adidas was designed in the late 1940s specifically for football with an innovative rubber sole that could improve traction on icy surfaces. It also made its way to skateboarders due to its grippy sole, durable upper padded leather, reinforced T-toe and understated aesthetic.

Standout Characteristic of Samba’s:
Suction cup-like concave bubbles have been primarily present in all Adidas Samba models making it a point of appeal and a distinctive trait.
