I purchase these atleast once a year, because of the classic style and how comfortable they are"¦.. definitely a cute and casual staple in my wardrobe. Love these!

Maybe I'm biased, but I love these sneakers. This is my fifth pair of Adidas Sambas so I know how these fit and feel. Why do I keep getting them? Because they last forever, they're comfortable and they go with almost everything I wear. I also find that the price point on these sneakers is right where I want to be when purchasing footwear. I refuse to waste money and these sneakers prove their value. I have had pairs of these last for several years. Yeah they do wear out but when they do I just buy another pair and then use the old ones for mowing lawns and other dirty work. They hide dirt well, take damage and keep going. The soles are solid enough to last and there's decent arch support inside. I personally find them extremely comfortable. And who can argue with the classic black and white? The ones I ordered showed a tan sole (which is what I normally get) however I received the black sole version (which I think is a nice little change) so no complaints there. They're already my daily wear sneakers again (after about a five year hiatus of buying other Adidas styles) and I have decided I will be wearing these as long as Adidas keeps making them, or until I die.

The shoes fit as expected, but the tongue on the modern Samba is huge. Annoyingly huge. I watched a video on how to 'fold-over' the tongue and relace the shoes, effectively shortening the tongue, and supposedly the awkward feeling this causes above my toes, due to the tongue being folded over, will go away soon. It's been a week and the awkward feeling is still there. If you're looking to use these shoes specifically for soccer and want the long tongue, they're great. If they're going to serve a dual purpose for you, sport shoe and casual wear, I might have to recommend getting the OG Samba or switching over to a Gazelle or similar models by a competitor.

great shoe, I didn't know they had a cushion on the sole it's at the side of the shoe and makes it able to wear longer without pain (i have flat feet) i didn't size up.

I was debating getting the classic or the Og sambas for casual wear. I eventually decided to get the classic due to the cheaper price. Although the tongue is a lot larger on the classic sneakers it is not too long that it looks abnormal. I think the classic shoes also have slightly less support and comfort than the og shoes. With this said I'm still happy with my purchase, very cute and a good deal!
