The Adidas Samba: From Pitch to Street Icon

In 2026, it's still hot, worn by Olivia Rodrigo and Bella Hadid [Marie Claire](https://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/olivia-rodrigo-adidas-sambas-airport-outfit/), [Limited Resell](https://limitedresell.com/en/blog/post/adidas-samba-how-to-choose-it-in-2026/).
