Not Tokyos, Not Taekwondos—Billie Eilish Makes a Case for an Adidas Samba Sneaker Comeback

Billie Eilish wore the board shorts trend with Adidas Samba sneakers.

Summer used to be the time for Adidas Sambas to shine on the celebrity style circuit. But this year, even slimmer sister sneakers, like the Tokyos and Taekwondos, have started a Samba sighting shortage. That's not to say the 76-year-old shoes are officially outdated. On August 8, Billie Eilish proved Adidas Sambas are just as timeless today as ever.

For a trip to Toronto with her boyfriend, Nat Wolff, Eilish skipped past the Air Jordans and ballet sneakers on her shoe rack and chose black Adidas Sambas instead. The classic $95 trainers featured a black leather base, darkened gum soles, and white stripes you know and love. Interestingly, the Grammy winner is the second A-lister to style Sambas in the last week. Kristen Stewart wore a black-and-lime green pair in New York City over the weekend.
