Popular models in focus

adidas Samba

Since 1949, the Samba has been a defining element of streetwear culture. Its trademarks are the slim silhouette, T-toe overlay, and grippy gum sole. The OG version features a leather upper with a suede toe, crisp stripes, and classic colorways ranging from Fine White and Core Black to Triple Black. Looking for a change? Check out the Samba Vegan or seasonal colorways. This shoe pairs perfectly with denim, workwear, chinos, and even tailored outfits. A fit tip: The Samba tends to run small—if you're between sizes, go for the larger one. For indoor wear with an even softer feel, explore Samba styles with a lightweight textile lining and a thinner insole.

adidas Gazelle

The classic Gazelle impresses with rich colors and contrasting stripes, while the Gazelle Indoor, with its translucent gum sole and subtle sheen, delivers a gym-ready look. Want to make a bigger statement? The Gazelle Bold takes this concept to the next level with a stacked sole in a platform style. Whether you're going for a casual, Scandinavian-minimalist, or Y2K vibe, the Gazelle is easy to style, from clean, monochromatic looks to colorful accents. For suede versions, remember to brush them regularly to maintain their beautiful texture.

adidas Stan Smith

The Stan Smith is the quintessential minimalist tennis shoe. White leather, perforated 3-Stripes, and green accents are its signature features. It's available in timeless OG colorways, vegan alternatives, and even the Stan Smith Lux with more luxurious materials. It complements both smart and casual outfits.

adidas Superstar

Shell toe, robust cupsole, iconic 70s basketball DNA – the Superstar is a cult sneaker with high recognition value. Whether in white and black, all black, or seasonal drops like the Superstar 82, it delivers grip, durability, and a dose of hip-hop history for your everyday life.

adidas Forum

The Forum brings 80s basketball back to the streets. The distinctive ankle strap, grippy outsole, and vintage details make the Forum 84 Low and Forum Low CL bold statements. From Cream White and Crew Yellow to classic white and blue, you'll find versatile colorways for retro fits.

Size and fit

adidas sneakers vary in size depending on the model. Classics like the Samba and Gazelle often have a slightly narrow fit. If you're between sizes or have wide feet, we recommend choosing the larger size. Many styles are unisex – for women, this can mean a difference of about 1 to 1.5 sizes compared to EU men's sizes, depending on the model. Use our size chart for each product and check the length in millimeters if needed. For a looser look, you can go up half a size with cupsole classics, while staying true to size with performance models. Discover our selection of adidas shoes for men and adidas shoes for women .

Colors and materials

White adidas sneakers work as a clean, classic choice for any outfit, while black colorways offer maximum everyday practicality. Suede adds depth to the look, smooth leather looks smart and is easy to care for. Gum soles emphasize the retro character, while transparent indoor soles add subtle accents. Seasonal pastels, muted earth tones, and two-tone options complete the selection, ensuring you find the perfect colorway to match your style.

Collaborations and limited releases

adidas regularly drops collaborations and special releases that give classics a fresh perspective. Highlights range from Bad Bunny on the Forum to Pharrell Williams interpretations. The Y-3 plays with progressive proportions, while 4D models feature innovative midsoles. The NMD R1 V3 and limited-edition ZX releases also bring fresh materials and colors. Keep an eye out for STAB drops if you're looking for special colorways and limited pairings.
