Popular models in focus

adidas Samba

The Samba has shaped streetwear culture since 1949. Its trademarks are its sleek silhouette, T-toe overlay, and grippy gum sole. The OG version features a leather upper with a suede toe, clean stripes, and classic colorways from Ftw White to Core Black to Triple Black. If you want variety, check out the Samba Vegan or seasonal colorways. The look works with denim, workwear, chinos, and even tailoring. Fit tip: The Samba has a rather narrow fit—if you're between sizes, go for the larger size. For indoor vibes with an even softer roll-off, it's worth looking at Samba versions with a lightweight textile lining and thinner insole.

adidas Gazelle

The classic Gazelle boasts rich colors and contrasting stripes, while the Gazelle Indoor delivers an indoor look with a translucent gum sole and a slight sheen. You want more of a statement? The Gazelle Bold implements the concept with a stacked sole in a platform version. Whether casual, Scandi-minimal, or Y2K, the Gazelle is easy to style, from clean monochrome fits to colorful accents. For suede versions, make sure to brush them regularly to keep the texture beautiful.

adidas Stan Smith

The Stan Smith is the minimalist tennis classic. White leather, perforated 3-Stripes, and green accents are its signature. You can get it in timeless OG colorways, vegan alternatives, and the Stan Smith Lux with more luxurious materials. It's perfect for 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 wear.

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 powerful 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 fit a bit narrow. If you're between sizes or have wide feet, we recommend the larger size. Many styles are unisex sized; for women, this can mean a difference of 1 to 1.5 sizes compared to EU men's sizes, depending on the model. Use our size information for each product and check the length in millimeters if necessary. For a looser look, you can go up half a size for cupsole classics, or stay true to size for performance models. Discover the selection for adidas men's shoes and adidas women's shoes .

Colors and materials

White adidas sneakers work as a clean slate for any outfit, while black colorways offer maximum everyday practicality. Suede adds depth to the tone, while 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 versions round out the selection, so you can find the perfect colorway to match your looks.

Collaborations and limited releases

Adidas regularly drops collabs and specials that give new perspectives to classics. Highlights range from Bad Bunny on the Forum to Pharrell Williams' interpretations. Y-3 plays with progressive proportions, and 4D models rely on innovative midsoles. NMD R1 V3s 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-edition pairings.
