It’s no secret that 2024 was a big year for adidas’ Samba sneakers. The low-top and slim sneaker became the go-to shoe for everyday style and its popularity brought many remixes and variations. As Samba became more popular, adidas slowly transformed the silhouette via numerous collaborations throughout the year. While the original Samba silhouette isn’t heading anywhere anytime soon, adidas is already working hard to reenvision its famed sneaker for the new year. Looking to replicate this fame, adidas recently announced the reissuing of one of their archival Samba silhouettes, which adds a bit more volume to the narrow design. Although this Samba sneaker touts a different style than its original counterpart, it’s an updated silhouette that adds plenty of life to the hit shoe. 

Make way for the Samba 62

In the Samba 62, adidas has added some width to the silhouette with a dual-toned outsole and narrow upper. With a similar look to a retro running shoe, the Samba 62 is a unique archival design from the Samba collection. The Samba 62 is crafted with a sleek leather upper with the inclusion of suede on the toe box. The brand’s iconic three stripes find their way along the side, next to an ‘adidas Samba’ logo in gold lettering. Unlike other Samba variations, this sneaker includes a pull tab along the heel and a lower midsole. Also gone is the traditional gum rubber, which has been replaced with foam. Expected to hit adidas’ CONFIRMED app and select retailers on January 23 for $140, the new Samba 62 is the perfect continuation of an iconic sneaker silhouette.

Any shoe with the influence and impact as the adidas Superstar sneaker will always see redesigns and remixes. Throughout the years, this sneaker has seen many differing versions, adding to its legacy as one of the hottest sneakers in recent seasons. Although it’s hard to replicate the same impact as the original design, JJJJound is taking on this iconic silhouette and creating a new sleek design. Although much of the silhouette doesn’t change, this collaboration adds new touches and materials that elevate it to another level. A more sophisticated look for the Superstar sneaker, this collaboration is perfect for those wanting to infuse their street style into any occasion. 
JJJJound x adidas Superstar 90 “Made in Japan”

Donning an all-black look, the collaborative Superstar sneaker uses JJJJound’s recognized Japanese leather for a soft and elegant look. Rather than add new features to the original shoe, this collaboration sees fewer details for a scaled-back appearance. In this latest iteration, the Superstar sneaker appears without its tongue logo and sans emblems on the heel tabs. Besides removing these features, the text “JJJJound” replaces the golden “Superstar” text along the side of the iconic three white stripes. A lowkey and subtle switch-up on a classic sneaker, this collaborative shoe draws a statement from how sleek and modern its appearance is. Ideal for those looking for a more sophisticated everyday sneaker, this collaboration is set to hit the shelves on February 1, 2025. Fans looking to purchase these sleek sneakers can do so via JJJJound’s web store.

Although Kith has already gifted us plenty of chic collaborations throughout the year, the holiday season brings out the brand’s best. For their Kithmas Holiday Collection, the brand is pairing up with two favorites for a stunning end-of-the-year treat. Along with Clarks and Adidas, Ronnie Fieg’s Kith is bringing out all the stops for one final collaboration for the year. While these brands are no strangers to working together, their latest collaborative sneaker takes a classic silhouette and gives it a modern upgrade to add a luxurious streetwear touch to your wardrobe. As with most of Kith’s collaborations in 2024, there’s no doubt this new partnership will sell out quickly. 
Ronnie Fieg x Clarks x Adidas Gazelle, BW Army, and AS350

Once again taking on the Adidas Gazelle, Ronnie Fieg’s 8th Street by Clarks line gives the famed sneaker a unique twist. Along with the BW Army and AS350, these new models will include a cream-colored suede upper and the classic Adidas’ famed Three Stripes with a brown snakeskin finish. Each sneaker has cream-colored suede overlays and a crepe sole that distinguishes this collaboration. All three brands are included in the branding on the tongue and the inside heel. Along with these three new models, Kith has taken over the holidays with new collaborations each week to celebrate the season. All three models will be available on December 23rd, via Kith’s app, website, and stores. Fans of all three brands should act quickly as Kith’s collaborations tend to sell out faster than most. While we will likely see plenty more Kith collaborations next year, there’s no better way to round out this year than with three of your favorite brands in one.

Footwear brand Salomon is no stranger to the concept of reviving archival designs. While many brands are jumping on board with the idea of bringing back older sneakers, Salomon has managed to do so successfully by recreating them with a modern lens. In their newest release, Salomon is taking a look at another older design to create an exciting new design. With the use of bright colorways and mixed materials, the new Salomon is nothing like its predecessor. Fusing the idea of modern and retro details, the new Salomon sneaker is everything you need for a bold, statement moment. Featuring some of Salomon’s most iconic technical features, this new shoe is everything you need to add a splash to your wardrobe. 
Reintroducing the Salomon XT-Whisper

Based on Salomon’s 2000 XT-Whisper, the brand’s redesigned sneaker offers many technical features not seen in the first release. For their first release, the XT-Whisper was only available as a women’s trail shoe. Now, the brand has rereleased the design in a unisex design that comes with a bright green colorway. This sneaker’s upper has been crafted with a textured and wavy material for an extra edge. Salomon’s Quicklace technology allows secure and easy access to the shoe. Inside the sneaker is the brand’s OrthoLite die-cut sockliner, which cradles the foot and provides extra support and cushion. Chevron lugs and Mud Contragrip complete the outside of the design with deep traction that focuses on keeping you stable, no matter where you step. Available via Salomon’s web store for $140, this sneaker is the perfect blend of bold retro design with the comfortable modern footwear technology you need.
