Okay so I’ve been wanting a pair of Adidas Sambas for forever, and I finally ordered them and let me just say, they are SO worth the hype. I got the black and white ones and they literally go with everything. I’ve worn them with jeans, skirts, even dresses, and somehow they make every outfit cuter. They’re super comfy right out of the box and didn’t even need to be broken in (which is such a win). Ariday · hibbett.com

I was unsure about these kicks and I’m glad I bought them. I love them! Took them on a 10 day trip and walked a ton with them and they held up great. Very comfortable and I found it interesting to see how all my other shoes got super dirty easily and this pair did not. The colors are cute and easy to match. Love them! A · neimanmarcus.com
