The adidas Samba ADV Cardboard Black is an athletic shoe with a minimalist design and simple colors.

This version of the adidas Samba ADV is made with a cardboard-colored suede upper. Suede overlays in the same color form the T-shaped toe cap and the eyestays. Samba branding appears in gold-foil lettering backwards on the outer side. The adidas 3-Stripes also adorn each side of the sneaker in black overlays. Cardboard leather forms the heel collar for cushioning, while the beige tongue is mesh for breathability and features a logo patch of white on black leather. The shoe sits on top of a black rubber outsole.

Our favorite thing about this sneaker is the backwards lettering of SAMBA on the lateral side, which adds an unexpected twist to the design.
