These £30 cow-print trainers are just like the viral Adidas sambas

The cow print sambas sold out at lightning speed when they dropped last year - (The Independent)

First released as a football shoe in the fifties, Adidas sambas now rub shoulders with the likes of Dr Martens 1460s and Converse Chuck Taylors as one of the most popular shoes of its kind.

Regular refreshes have helped the shoe to continuously top wish lists, from a limited-edition leopard print style (that sold out at lightning speed), to collaborations with Wales Bonner. With Adidas featuring in Simone Rocha’s London Fashion week show, the brand’s familiar sporty style and branding is a trend staple that’s likely here to stay in 2026.
