Adidas Samoa 'Core Black & Cloud White' All-Black Suede, White Leather 3-Stripes, Black Heel Tab with Trefoil, Square adidas Tongue Label, Black Laces & White Cupsole Classic American Retro Lifestyle Sneakers
Adidas Samoa 'Core Black & Cloud White'
A true American adidas classic — the Adidas Samoa in 'Core Black & Cloud White' is the OG black-and-white sneaker that defined an era of West Coast skate culture, hip-hop style, and casual American streetwear long before most sneakers even tried. Originally introduced in the 1980s as a budget-friendly alternative to the Superstar with a chunkier, more casual silhouette, the Samoa has earned its place as one of the most beloved and enduring adidas Originals models — and in its classic Core Black suede with crisp white 3-Stripes, it remains as clean, versatile, and timeless as ever. The thick all-black suede upper, wide white leather 3-Stripes, bold white cupsole midsole, and black rubber outsole deliver the instantly recognizable Samoa profile that generations of sneaker fans grew up with.
- Colorway: Core Black / Cloud White
- Silhouette: Adidas Samoa — a beloved American adidas Originals classic first introduced in the 1980s; distinguished by its chunky, rounded suede upper construction, wide leather 3-Stripes, thick white cupsole midsole, and black rubber outsole with Trefoil traction pattern — a more casual, relaxed, and voluminous silhouette than the Samba or Superstar, deeply rooted in West Coast skate culture and American streetwear heritage
- Upper: All-black premium suede upper — a single-piece black suede construction (no toe overlay or multi-material construction) for a clean, chunky, rounded silhouette; white leather 3-Stripes on the black suede side panel — wide, bold, and generously proportioned in the classic Samoa scale that gives the shoe its instantly recognizable American heritage character; tonal black stitching throughout; black flat laces for a fully tonal all-black upper finish
- Branding: Black and white square adidas Trefoil tongue label — the classic adidas Originals square badge that distinguishes the Samoa from the Samba OG’s blue oval label; white adidas Trefoil on the black heel tab; adidas Originals branding on the insole; 3-Stripes branding throughout
- Heel Tab: Black heel tab with white adidas Trefoil — a clean, tonal black finish with high-contrast white Trefoil branding
- Lacing: Black flat laces for a fully tonal, all-black finish across the entire upper
- Midsole: Thick white rubber cupsole midsole — the defining Samoa profile element; substantially chunkier and more voluminous than the Samba OG midsole, giving the Samoa its distinctive rounded, casual American silhouette and comfortable all-day cushioning; bright white finish that contrasts cleanly with the all-black upper
- Outsole: Black rubber outsole with the classic Samoa Trefoil-embossed multi-directional traction pattern — adidas Originals branding integrated into the sole design for maximum heritage authenticity
