The adidas Samba “Dia De Los Muertos” sneakers are back with a bang, and this time, they’re more vibrant than ever. The 2024 lineup of these iconic shoes features a stylish makeover that’s sure to turn heads. The Samba, which has been a staple in the adidas family for decades, has been given a textural upgrade that’s themed around the Mexican holiday, Dia De Los Muertos.
The upper of the Samba shoes features a combination of creamy black leather and velvety suede, which are joined together by contrast white stitching. This stitching is a clever nod to the calaveras, or sugar skull face motif, that’s associated with the Day of the Dead. The overall design of the shoes is reminiscent of Wales Bonner’s tastefully stitched-up Sambas, but with a twist. It’s as if the London-based designer, Wales Bonner, decided to celebrate life, death, remembrance, and vibrancy.

One of the standout features of the adidas Samba “Dia De Los Muertos” sneakers is the attention to detail. The shoes feature neat skeleton-inspired features, such as bone-shaped eyestays, which add a touch of whimsy to the design. The embroidered floral motifs on the shoes bring a subtle pop of color and cultural significance. These motifs are a nod to the traditional Mexican holiday, which is celebrated on November 1.
In addition to the Samba, the adidas Día de Muertos collection also includes the adidas Crazychaos 2000. This shoe features a similar textural build and on-theme fixings, making it a great addition to the collection. The entire collection, including the cool textural Samba, is slated to drop on September 27 at adidas. This gives fans of the brand plenty of time to sort out their celebrations before the traditional Mexican holiday takes place.
