Adidas Puts a Dairy-Cow Coat on the Samba

Adidas has given the Samba another unexpected hide: a fuzzy pony-hair upper, spotted in ink and cream like a pasture Holstein. Against that, a pale, powdery blue picks out the details, which keeps the pair from reading as pure novelty. The contrast is the point. A shoe this spotted belongs in a closet that already knows how to wear a leopard loafer, whether that closet is on the Upper East Side or in Aspen.
