Picture this: You’ve set your alarm in advance and registered for plenty of email reminders but when the time comes, you’re just a fewwww seconds too late to finally get your hands on a pair of Adidas Samba sneakers. Been there, done that! Sneakerheads and fashion girlies know all about keeping tabs on when the hottest items are scheduled to drop and these cool sneakers have been one of the most coveted items for quite some time now. (Much love to my trusty white sneakers, but Sambas just hit different!) The good news is, there’s hope. And we’re here to break down all the info you need to know about Adidas Samba sneakers and where to buy them.
Aside from the usual culprits (i.e. Pinterest and TikTok), you’ve probably seen these sneaks on the feet of your fave celebs. From Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber to Harry Styles and Jacob Elordi, everyone sure seems to get a kick—pun very much so intended—out of their sneakers. Despite the widespread celebrity appeal, I’m happy to report that Sambas don’t require you to have the same A-lister salary and actually retail for around just $100. Not bad considering the cost per wear you’re sure to get out of ‘em! Okay, yes the girl math is working overtime here but it’s true. Obviously, it’s no secret that we love an affordable celeb-approved find around here, but all that aside, these versatile shoes are seriously v practical.
If you’re reading this, I’m sure I don’t have to explain why they’re so good. You know they’re comfortable! You know they’re stylish! Now all you need is *checks notes* the actual sneakers.
Where to Buy Adidas Samba Sneakers Right Now
Of course, you can purchase a pair of Sambas on Adidas’ official site but it’s worth keeping in mind that they might not have your size or preferred colorway (ahh… the virality of an ‘It’ shoe…). So if you don’t find any luck there or if you have your heart set on a specific colorway that’s not available on the official site, we recommend checking out other retailers like Amazon, Revolve, FARFETCH, Zappos, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and more. To make it easier for you, here are some in-stock Sambas we’ve spotted around the internet. Quick tip! Double-check the sizing before you hit “add to cart” as they might be listed in men’s or unisex sizing.
Running to buy these!

These are so good, they’re sure to hold you over until you get your hands on the real thing, or who knows, maybe you’ll declare one of these your one true love. Regardless of your pick, I’m sure it will be your new go-to and a staple in your closet in no time. Now go get your sneakers my friends!
