Italian bakery cases across Staten Island supply the palette for the new cannoli-themed Samba created by Adidas and Asphalt. They drop September 25, priced at $130, in a limited edition of 600 pairs. Marking the retailer's first collaborative footwear project with adidas since opening its Staten Island flagship on Veterans Road West, the design translates local Italian pastry traditions into tangible terrace details.
Toasted wheat leather sets the base, framed by deep cocoa suede along the T-toe overlay and serrated three stripes. Candy pink details brighten the heel mustache and internal leather collar, borrowing shades from neighborhood pastry boxes. A brass-clipped cannoli ornament dangles from the top eyelet, paired with illustrated bakery graphics printed onto the insoles.
Modular hardware defines the throat of the sneaker. Three swappable Velcro tongue patches let wearers switch between different branding badges or detach the tongue flap entirely to display the flat lacing underneath. Three spare lace bundles (creamy beige, dark chocolate, and pastel pink) accompany the footwear.
