The current resale numbers also bear out the thesis. The demand for the shoe has had a hectic energy, unsettling the older Samba wearers who still see it as a trusty, low-cost beater sneaker. Maybe less beaten to death and more trampled in a stampede. Hailey Bieber sporting a pair of vegan Sambas earlier this year.

The Samba’s popularity is still surging with no signs of slowing down. What’s perplexing about the Samba moment is its persistence.

Trainspotting’s Mark Renton – portrayed by Ewan McGregor in Danny Boyle’s 1996 classic film – wore burgundy Samba Supers.Right now might be the moment to address the subject behind one of the more perplexing trend cycles bestowed on us in recent memory: the Adidas Samba.
