Moo-ving Right Along: The Adidas Samba Grows a Spotted Pony Hair Coat

Adidas has given its Samba another unusual texture, this time pony hair patterned like a black-and-white cowhide. The details come in a soft, powdery blue, which calms the busy spotted upper so the shoe reads as considered rather than loud. It's a playful take on ranch-country pattern, and the kind of pair that would feel right on a Nashville sidewalk or with denim on a New York weekend. We cover the red carpet, but we'll always stop for a good print.
