The OG Samba: The German Army Trainer, Adidas v. Puma, Where to Buy ‘em, and How To Style
In today’s video, we’re looking at the call of the Adidas Samba sneaker. but the Samba is simply a blip in the timeline of the long-standing influence of the German Army Trainer in the world of stylish footwear. We look at some of the origins of the infamous Adidas vs. Puma conflict, and the vague development of the standard issue sneaker. We’ll also look at the GAT’s competition, with numerous brands looking to make their own versions of the mass manufactured surplus basic, with each adding their own spin. Finally, we look at some styling ideas for outfits working with the Sambas and the GATs as a timeless foundation piece that has incredible versatility and style.
