After i had finished with the Reebok Pumps and Nike/Jordan shoes, I started wearing the Adidas Samba (blue suede) from about 1993 onwards. I buy a fresh pair just about every year. My dad was the same. He always kept a fresh pair of sambas in the wardrobe going back to the early 70s. He died on new year's day this year and lo and behold, we found a fresh DS pair in the back of his wardrobe.😂
Two weeks ago I saw the all black pair at my local Shoepalace and picked up a pair. Immediately I thought that would be cool if Weartesters did a review on these. Here we are 🤝🏼
The leather uppers look amazing. Adidas has been on it with the Samba related silhouettes. They've released some seriously good colourways of the Samba this year, almost rivalling the Handball Spezial colourways.
Was not expecting this sneaker on the channel. I picked up the white with black stripes pair a few months ago. They were selling out fast here in Dubai. The black ones didn't sell as fast. Very comfy, great quality. Glad I bought a pair.
These look real cool. Reminds me a lot of the Samba RM, still my favorite version of the Samba thus far. It was wider than the OG and had a thicker sole that was full length Boost! It came out way before the most recent Samba trend took off and was therefore criminally overlooked. But to date, no other Samba comes close to how comfortable the Samba RM was. Sadly discontinued, and worse, I’m down to my last pair. :(
Great vid as always. For me Adidas is absolutely killing it with design and innovation ; be it really different unique new sneakers that are often quite good quality wise and often performance as well. Or tweaks / improvements to classics from their lineup , they just seem to be doing very well overall. And thats from someone who wears Nike / JB 90% of the time ; Nike & JB should take a lesson. And that movie / scene mentioned does seem very familiar , as in i feel like i have seen it as well ; but can't seem to remember the exact movie was from (haven't seen it in ages).
I'm in complete agreement. People are sleeping on the innovation of Adidas these days but I'm here for it because it means I can get everything I want with ease
@@ThBnnrMn 100% , plus at the price point as well , i grabbed a few pairs of AE1s at that price. Good quality , can ball in them and look different and great. The Harden line as well very different and innovative and numerous other examples. Adidas just doing great in general ; especially with design and innovation.
Just saw these in the mall yesterday and almost picked up a pair. Love the new look. The originals are way too thin and small for me, but this look is great. I’m prolly gonna grab a pair soon!
I prefer these over Jordan 1 lows. I have two pairs but thinking of grabbing a third. So many color ways to choose from. They just remind of the 80s as well as skate kicks.
I'm glad to see this review and surprised to see it from you. I've had these shoes for 3 months now and I love them, and I got them at a huge discount from FLX which is a plus. Keep up the good work guys 👍🏻.
The shoes look great. The changes made were well thought out. As for the story related to the question of the day, it sounds like the movie could’ve been one of the Percy Jackson movies…..I believe they had a whole ship inside a sea creature that swallowed them. However what Jodi mentioned does sound familiar as well. To what Chris said, Piranha was a fav movie of mine as a kid. Then they dropped piranha 2…. Flying piranhas! 😂
QOTD: Sharks visit the Chesapeake Bay during the summer... I'm not looking forward to when they start venturing up the Potomac. I'm torn on these. '90s-spec Gazelles and Sambas were so fresh that it's hard for me to like changes to them. On the other hand, the Samba XLG looks more comfy and functional for daily wear. Tough call. Thanks for the review! I'll echo the sentiment I've seen in the comments: I enjoy your under-the-radar reviews. Keep 'em coming and I promise I'll catch you on the next one.
speaking of the water..maybe the next time you visit the Philippines try going to the islands we have a place where you can literally swim with whale sharks..totally harmless but they are massive. Mrs. Wing and the kids would probably love it and if you ever want to "conquer that fear" that's a good way to do it.
I have countless Sambas but none of these; they’re new? Might pick up the grey pair, they look great, like a hybrid between Samba / Centennial / Forum. 🔥
@@lykelmacaranas6605 I went TTS bro but should have gone half a size up. They’re a bit cramped in the toebox. Still comfortable but my toes are pushed together ever so slightly.
You need to try the adidas Adios 8. Not the pro version just the regular. Sneaker is a beast for traveling. Took it through the jagged European grounds and the grip is still elite on them.
Hey Chris, big fan of the channel. I’ve always wondered why the Nike huarache 2K5 hasn’t returned and the Nike huarache 2K4 has. So here’s my question to you. QOTD - Can you talk about the Nike Huarache 2K5 and why do you think Nike hasn’t retroed them?
For the algorithm! Do you think Chris could ever repeat the naughty names for private parts he did for one of your first sponsored adds? How many takes did it take to get that filmed? And what was your favorite name that was used?
Random guess on the movie Mrs Wing was thinking of: Moby Dick? I’ve never seen it but I think there’s something to do with people being swallowed alive in there? I get the hebejebes (how TF do you spell that 😂) about going in water too, I think it’s mainly Bull Sharks that can actually go into freshwater/brackish mixed water in rivers. Very glad we don’t have to worry about that here in the UK 😅
Gotta check these out for myself. I like the OG Samba but they were too flat for my feet. These may be a better option. If any knows what movie Jodi is referencing, I'd like to know!
@@WearTesters all good I find them,thank you , I didn’t mention I’m from Germany and I guess in Europe we don’t have them unfortunately This was adidas samba xlg ivory olive I always watching your videos when I want to buy new shoes 🙌🏼
Does it feel like you’re walking on a platform? It’s hard to tell how thick that sole is from photos and videos. I was about to order a pair of Samba Decons, which seems to be the opposite of these.
Those are awesome. And you’re comparing them to a Jordan 1? I’d probably buy anything nowadays over a Jordan 1. They’re uncomfortable, cheap, horrible quality, overpriced, garbage.
Would you rather fight a lion that’s starving and all you have is a short sword or fight a 300 pound pit bull with rabies and all you have are brass knuckles?
Future question of the day : If you were to live in the fictional universe of your choice (a video game or a movie or a comic book, etc.), which one would it be?

These non-hyped reviews always hit the hardest! Great work as always!

I also had a father daughter moment with the samba og's and she also paid 🔥 shout out to all those dad sneaker heads

“They don’t care” is crazyyyy Chris😂😂💀yes we do and where’s the Saturday pod?
My favorite of the fattened treatment shoe is definitely the campus, felt just right with my dressing style.
These look really good, I just got me a pair of Campus 00 and they are great!
The quality of leather that adidas gives us in the $90-120 range is insane. Other brands have no excuses
Whoa!!! Globes!!! Bringin nostalgia back big time!!
You made me change my mind on this one. Thanks !
I love your channel, makes the end of my day enjoyable.
The Gazelle looks similar to this shoe, I saw it in Hibbett yesterday. I like the Samba XLG better. Thanks for the review!
reminds me of the kith sambas clarks collaboration. Which imo is better than any samba ever purely due to the comfort.
Bulk for skate! Should have been a ADV but whatever they'll still skate great regardless
These are insane
Such a good color way as well!
I didn't even know there was a xlg version. These are really nice
need more reebok question videos, do a question prototype video

You guys and Foot Doctor Zach have spoiled me. I can’t watch any other sneaker review channels. Please keep up the great work. ✊🏾
Been rocking the black and white pair for a few months now. Amazing shoe for the price. The marterials, the quality and comfort are all excellent.
@@OJHoopslife Hey man did you go tts or half size up? 🙂
@@lykelmacaranas6605 I went TTS bro but should have gone half a size up. They’re a bit cramped in the toebox. Still comfortable but my toes are pushed together ever so slightly.
For the rithm of the algo type
Good job lil' wing. I still remember Mrs. Wing's shark story 😰. It's hard to forget, no matter how hard I try.
Great Video 💯💯

One of the few thick and chunky lifestyle shoes that look and feel really great
The wink lol, don't delete anything!
Good review!
Bro Chris is funny af man😂
Was the movie you guys were talking about Moby Dick?

I have the red and black straight butter 😂😂watching from 🇯🇲
Thought about grabbing these
3:16 we saw all of it
Would you ever consider a vlog type of video? Like, a day in the life of Mr, Mrs, and Baby Nightwing?
Hi please do more adidas reviews, like their collabs with bad bunny
As a dad we do care about that dad/daughter moment. 👊🏾😎
these sambas look like platforms... unlike the low-profile OGs.. these are bulky but comfort should make up for it
Do an adidas Korn collab ... superstars coming out this month 🙏 🔥🔥🔥
KINGSHIP 💪🏾🏋🏾💯💪🏾
these remind me of the first Tyshawn model
I have been thinking that the 2000's skate era style for shoes is kinda coming back too lol

i wish they had a boost version so they don't kill me feet
Samba RM. Good luck finding a pair and if you do get ready.... $$$$$$

I live in Tampa and i'm the same way - no bodies of water for me.
Chris is joining the rest of us middled age men with poor memories. Adidas Continental 80s?! 😅
dangit I want these now
Miss the podcast... 😞 Really digging these shoes though!
these are fire' cop'd
Pour quoi tu fait jamais les air force one Air Force 1 '07 'White Black Jewel merci de les présenté elle son classe celle si avec logo ruby noir
I do not see this particular model with suede stripes in green. Only the leather one
i hate the water too lolll
Day 2 of requesting a review for the PUMA ALL PRO NITRO ELITE
are they an achilles killer like the og sambas?
We do care
Yes(algorithm comment)
🇬🇺 Hafa Adai from the Island of Guam. 🇬🇺
I can’t find these specific model nowhere on internet
Looks like it’s suede stripes and suede back heel,what’s the exactly name for these ?
He mentioned where he found them.
@@WearTesters all good I find them,thank you ,
I didn’t mention I’m from Germany and I guess in Europe we don’t have them unfortunately
This was adidas samba xlg ivory olive
I always watching your videos when I want to buy new shoes 🙌🏼
Does it feel like you’re walking on a platform? It’s hard to tell how thick that sole is from photos and videos. I was about to order a pair of Samba Decons, which seems to be the opposite of these.
I have both, I prefer the XLG. It has some chunk but it doesn't bother me. The decons are cool but the uppers have 0 support
These are nice 😊
What's this Colorway called???
Made me thinking...
These or the Vans Knu Skool?
I been eyeing some for months but haven't pulled the trigger 🤣 I feel like I would look like old dude trying to look young, am I tripping?
1977 orca the killer whale is da name of da movie with bo derek😅😅😅
The podcast was epic! What happened to that. 😢
Where can I find this cw in EU??
Any new podcasts episodes coming up?
There is a mini podcast episode at the end of every review. The actual podcast was canceled due to lack of support.
i think i can throw my air force 1 too
It is called ageing. 😮
🔥
4 D algo
Those are awesome. And you’re comparing them to a Jordan 1? I’d probably buy anything nowadays over a Jordan 1. They’re uncomfortable, cheap, horrible quality, overpriced, garbage.
Sneaker dementia is real
Would you rather fight a lion that’s starving and all you have is a short sword or fight a 300 pound pit bull with rabies and all you have are brass knuckles?
Definitely, the pit bull headed to the nearest water source.

I hate Samba, but Samba 2 .. ho yes
Put some fat laces in my pair and love em.
A.B.C.
Are these comfy 😢
For the Algorithm

So jordan 1 r trash
