Argentina Football Association Celebrate 50-Year Partnership With Adidas with Collaborative Samba

After a year filled with Messi x Adidas collaborations, it’s time for the national football governing body to have its moment in the spotlight. The AFA x Adidas Samba celebrates 50 years of partnership between Argentina Football and Adidas.

Anchored in a classic navy leather upper, the shoe features baby blue hues that pay homage to Argentina’s iconic team colors. These shades are reflected in the Three Stripe overlays, heels, and suede toe areas, giving the design a cohesive yet striking look. Below, a milky-translucent rubber tread adds a sleek touch, ensuring that this sneaker isn’t just about looks but also delivers on practicality.

The design is further elevated with AFA-approved branding details, including a gilded profile wall and tongue branding that nod to the partnership. The commemorative graphic insoles celebrate the 50-year relationship, making this release an exclusive collector's item for sneakerheads and football fans.

The AFA x Adidas Samba is available now on Adidas.com — alongside a commemorative 50th-anniversary jersey (spotted on Leo Messi above)
