What’s one of our favorite things about the 2022 FIFA World Cup? The cool adidas’ World Cup merchandise, including its highly-anticipated Mexico Samba shoes featuring green stripes. But we’re not the only ones who are excited for this release, so act fast if you’re looking to kick your sneaker game up a notch this season.
This latest soccer-inspired adidas sneaker release that mimics Mexico’s home jersey — with its green stripes and the team’s brand-new badge on the tongue — is a timely launch, with the Samba shoe being beloved among the celebrity set. Plus, there’s no doubt that green is the hue of the moment, from ready-to-wear to tiny accent details, making the Samba Mexico shoes even more coveted.
TikTok creator Jake Wolf shared with 92.8K viewers the buzz about the adidas Samba Mexico shoes and why it’s a wardrobe essential. “For the past two to three years, green has been the number one sort of vibey, minimalist-aesthetic color from many brands. Even more specifically, you have Instagram accounts dedicated to the color green. But, then, you also have the fact that Sambas are one of the hottest, if not the hottest, sneakers in the world right now,” says Wolf. And if that’s not enough to convince you, the term “adidas white and green sambas” on TikTok has over 909 million views.
