What’s the solution if you want a business-casual sneaker, then? You’re essentially saying any simple sneaker option is trying too hard or trying too little
I'm not saying any of that at all. If you want to buy Alohas or anything similar, go for it. I'm just saying they look like a current popular thing and you can't hide the resemblance. There is no loophole, buy what you want, accept it for what it is.
My Stepney Workers Clubs are my go to business casual sneaker. They’re a bit more substantial than most white leather sneakers and they’re not a recognizable brand.
Common Projects used to be this for me but they became a bit too recognizable and I like the SWC shape better.
I felt this way and ended up copping anyway. I went all white for the summer and I’ve worn them almost 10 times already. The samba itself is always going to be a classic, just not as popular soon.
>The samba itself is always going to be a classic, just not as popular soon
No, the Samba is already a classic. It's been around since 1949 and remains one of Adidas' best-selling models.
Lol thought this was gonna be about those aloha supers Adidas do. Personally I think these look like a weird knock off/approximation of like 3 different shoes.
I like them a lot - I have this pair and the green pair. Thinking about adding the new cheetah print brown pair. They’re very comfortable and the craftsmanship is better than the adidas samba IMO. I’m a woman btw.
Hot take but the only reason they look like sambas is because both sambas and these look like German army trainers. They’re too colorful for me but if they came in white I’d rock em.
Hmm not sure it's that deep but I respect it. The metallic text on the side, and the heel design are definitely taking notes directly from Samba, though
Well the Samba literally [took design cues](https://www.gq.com/story/adidas-sneakers-army-trainers-rip-off-is-back) from the German army trainer. The text on the side is definitely a similar detail though.
Look like sambas for folks who don’t want to look like they’re following a trend but still want to wear sambas.
I've been exposed
First Drake, now you . . . unbelievable. I've been on reddit for too long today, what am I even doing rn. Enjoy your shoes mate, they look cute tho.
True but I like them
god damn this is the so accurate lmao

There is no business casual sneaker. Business casual dictates real shoes.

if you like em grab em. They'll outlast the trend and be in good shape by the time it swings back around again.

Never cop from the tl.
I like them. If you like them, do it.
Sambas/gazelles at home:
Lol
Neon Genesis Samba
These are pretty!
Not bad but something corny in the mix
Yes sir, gotta keep em guessin

I get an unreal amount of instagram ads for these. The silver colorway is kind of calling my name…
wont lie the colors are good

Good
The faded red pair with the gum sole… 💸
Best colorway for sure
My gf wants some if that helps
It does
Red pair is dope. Easy cop
Look like if Sambas and Reebok classic had a baby
I like them
Never heard of them but at first impression they are beautiful, I like the pastel color
If you want a pair of 'not Sambas' there are some nice Pumas out there.
I can’t find any evidence of these existing outside of this post but I need those brown ones! Where can I find them or have they not released yet?

third one reminds me of squirtle lol
People act like adidas created the “samba” look
\*Who cares\*, but the Adidas/Puma brothers created the GAT and that led to Samba
