The branding is kept simple with creamy linen leather on the Three Stripes logos and heel tab, plus a slightly darker cream shade on the leather sockliner. The midsole is a light gum brown, and a bit of color rounds it all out with blue laces added to represent the giraffe’s famously blue tongue.
The adidas Samba Giraffe will be released March 1, 2026 through adidas and select retailers in-store and online. Available in women’s sizing, the retail price is set at $110. For all the latest adidas news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
