Samba OG Liberty London Better Scarlet (W)

The adidas Samba OG Liberty London Better Scarlet model was created as part of a collaboration between adidas Originals and London department store Liberty London, known for its distinctive textile designs. The design uses the classic Samba OG silhouette, retaining its low profile and distinctive panel layout. The upper has been reinforced with a T-shaped reinforcement at the front, which stabilizes the toe and tidies up the front line of the shoe. The design is based on a traditional lacing system and a flat sole, thanks to which the silhouette retains the proportions typical of this line.The Better Scarlet color scheme is based on an intense shade of red covering most of the upper. Contrasting details in a light color appear on this base, including three adidas stripes and a panel at the heel. A distinctive feature of this version is a decorative floral pattern inspired by archival Liberty London prints, which appears on selected parts of the design and adds a more decorative character to the entire silhouette.The upper is made of a combination of textile material and leather and suede elements. The textile surface is responsible for the graphic pattern, while the suede overlay at the front reinforces the toe cap construction and emphasizes the distinctive panel layout. The three stripes and selected structural elements are made of smooth leather, which creates a contrast between the more textured surface of the material and the uniform texture of the details.The model is based on a rubber sole in a classic rubber shade. Its textured surface provides traction when walking and stability in contact with the ground. The clearly marked sole line separates the upper from the ground and emphasizes the low profile of the construction.Distinctive design elements include a floral motif inspired by Liberty London patterns, a suede T-shaped toe cap, and gold Samba branding on the side panel. The Liberty London Better Scarlet variant retains the structural layout of the Samba OG model while introducing a decorative pattern resulting from a collaboration with the London-based design studio.
