Dingyun Zhang Revitalizes the adidas Samba with New Collection

Dingyun Zhang, a prominent Chinese designer, has collaborated once again with adidas for a new sneaker collection, featuring innovative Fall-ready versions of the classic Samba. Marking their second partnership, the collection highlights the creative blend of fashion and functionality.

Leading the collection is the “White Vapour” Samba, an elegant piece entirely enveloped in soft white cow suede from the tongue to the sole, offering a velvety texture. This sneaker incorporates a padded heel and tongue, showcasing Zhang’s characteristic design touch, while presenting an updated look to the classic model.

In addition to the white model, the lineup includes a brown colorway that enhances the fall aesthetic. This version features a warm brown hue that dominates the shoe’s sole and upper, complementing a light gray puffy collar, and highlighted with bold red accents on the laces and co-branded tongue.

The collection does not rest here, as Zhang introduces a new runner model called the Kouza. This model is futuristic in its design, characterized by an exaggerated heel guard and an extended outsole. The Kouza sneakers are launched in three vibrant colorways, marking a progressive step in the designer’s adidas collaboration.

The sneakers are set for release on October 18, providing fashion enthusiasts an opportunity to integrate these stylish pieces into their seasonal attire without delay. This collaboration follows Zhang’s successful initial endeavor with adidas earlier in the year, where the designer introduced an all-black glossy leather sneaker model, further solidifying his innovative footprint in the fashion world.
