One of adidas' most popular products are sneakers. With a wide range of products to choose from, adidas has something for every fashion-conscious man. Let’s see Pharrell’s 350v1.Adidas is a globally recognized brand known for its high-quality sneakers and sportswear. But I can’t help but feel like they need to let him off the leash where he isn’t modifying an Ultraboost or an NMD. Honestly, for a dad like myself, constraining the sneaker to the Samba probably makes it more wearable. I love Pharrell’s style, and he did a great job with the tools he’s given.

They didn’t give Pharrell LightStrike pro like they gave Kanye Boost. The leather is good for Adidas, but not a material that will get clicks. The combination of parts are unique, but still mostly pulled from existing models. And it goes beyond that.Īs well as these sneakers work as a fashion statement, they still handcuffed the design. Searching Instagram you don’t find anybody wearing them. Nobody rage copped them off StockX when they didn’t win. The app didn’t need 3 hours to work through online raffle entries. Getting the obvious out of the way, there wasn’t huge demand for these. Does this sneaker, with its high cost for a basic silhouette, put Pharrell in the same conversation as the Yeezy brand? It’s a fashion statement, and it does that job really well. You’re paying a premium for it, but you need to – brands can’t stock a shoe like this in the way they can grey, blue, etc. However, if you want a pink shoe that will age well, this is the only game in town. It isn’t comfortable, and it isn’t practical. Is the Humanrace Samba worth the $200 it cost at MSRP? Probably. There are two ways to look at this question. Expect wild price swings as buyers decide it’s the day, and sellers need to cut their losses. It still means that it’ll probably hard to find a connection for both a buyer and a seller. Of course, the demand for the Mambacita is way higher. Compare that to the Mambacita that released a few days ago, where more than 200 are currently up on StockX, and Nike only made a few thousand of them. In the pink colorway, there is exactly 1 on eBay in any size, and 20 on StockX (all sizes). For a sneaker that supposedly sold out, there are almost none available on the resale market. And aftermarket prices are highly volatile because of that – ranging from $250 to $450. That being said, stock numbers for these must have been extremely low. At time of writing, many sizes are still available on. However, that took around 12 hours, and Adidas is known for pulling sneakers that were supposed to be hype that didn’t sell out.
Originally priced at $200, the Adidas Humanrace Samba has mostly sold out on Adidas’ confirmed app. I’d say that around 60% percent of guys will want to go with your classic sneaker size, and around 30% will want to go a half size up. This is the same size I wear in most sneakers, but not nearly as comfortable a fit. I take these in a size 13, which are slightly too narrow and slightly too long with thin socks. If the cup sole was any higher, or the upper made of vegan leather, they’d be a no-go for me.
To get a sneaker that is wide enough, you’d need so much toe space that it’d be uncomfortable to walk around in them.Īs someone who has slightly-wider-than-average feet, I can make them work, but only because of the soft leather upper. Originally designed to fit as closely to your feet as possible for playing soccer, many guys will find they are too close to your feet.įor a good percentage of the population, they are simply unwearable. This is an is an incredibly narrow sneaker.
The Humanrace Samba? It fits exactly the same. The Adidas Samba is notoriously hard to fit. The good news? Tan, white, and black colorways are coming soon. Heck, I get that most of these bright colors won’t be for everyone. As a way to elevate the design of the Samba, the Humanrace version is more durable, with materials that will age better. Well, simplify other than the bright pink. Every change made to this sneaker was either designed to improve the quality, or simplify the look. Using that criteria? They are pretty darn good. If someone bought these, they knew that they were getting a once-every-few-months sneaker, and I need to evaluate them based on that. However, like I said above, that isn’t going to surprise anyone. I would also try to caution you against rocking these with a matching pink t-shirt or polo. Please do not buy these as your only pair of kicks. Nobody will be keeping these by the door to take the dog out. As I already mentioned, these are shoes you wear only when you want to stand out.
