adidas' Cutest Samba Mary Janes Are Also Quite Fancy
The Samba has been re-cut so many times that a Mary Jane version reads less as a novelty and more as the end of the line.
adidas has spent three years stretching one terrace shoe across every possible upper, and the Mary Jane is the version that finally admits the Samba is a fashion object rather than a football one. It will sell on the strength of the sole and the strap. The original low is still on the shelf for a fraction of what the re-cut asks, which is the honest comparison.
adidas has 338 live asks on the shelf today; these 3 run $28.85–$77.64. None of them is claimed to be the exact piece in the story — check size, condition and colourway on each row before you buy.
