Sneakers I Dig: 3/11/10

Here’s a simple sneaker for those of you who get a little overwhelmed by most of the other CMG certified footwear that I post.  The Adidas Samba is about as classic of a sneaker as any, and go back….waaaay back.  I remember growing up in Durham, NC where soccer was pretty popular, and all of the cool kids wore these when they weren’t wearing their cleats.  I think Sambas were actually considered “indoor soccer shoes” if my memory serves me correct.  These new colorways are part of the “World Cup Pack,” honoring the various countries that compete in the futbol battle royal.  Each one has a small pin with a country’s flag, that match the various color combinations of the shoe.  The Samba is a good intro sneaker for those of you that want to switch things up and wear something a little cooler, but don’t exactly know where to start.  And for $60, you can’t beat ‘em.  You can purchase all of the various colors here.  Oh, and you’re welcome.
