Adidas Samba sneakers have evolved significantly from their origins as soccer shoes. Since 2022, the casual footwear style has become an It fashion buy. And while they aren't "out," the truth is they don't feel as exciting as they once did. If you own a pair, I don't suggest donating or throwing them out. Instead, think of new ways to style them to make them feel fresh for 2025. One recent Samba outfit to draw inspiration from is that of actress Sofia Carson.
While arriving at Venice Airport for the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, Carson was spotted in a casual yet chic Adidas Samba outfit. She styled her white and black pair with black wide-leg trousers, a black T-shirt, a beige trench coat, and a black Chanel bag.
The secret to grounding the sneakers lies in choosing expensive-looking wardrobe basics. Even though Sambas have been a staple in the fashion landscape for over three years, they continue to exude a trendy vibe. When styled with refined, structured pieces, these sneakers can achieve a look that is not only polished but also sophisticated and mature. With that said, keep scrolling to see the celeb-approved way to wear Sambas in 2025 and shop the key pieces to get the look.
