Sambas rule! I know they're bright but the comfort, feel and even the look is still uniquely "Samba". I recommend these to anyone who really doesn't care about the neon green and likes the traditional Samba. At this price, you can afford to make it part of a particular outfit. Love em', YEAH!

Nice, but a little different than the original- I've always loved the original Samba, and this special edition neon-striped shoe is great. The only thing keeping it from being 5 stars in comfort is that it is a little different than the original Samba. There is harder plastic that surrounds the ankle part, unlike the soft fabric material and padding of the original. The shorter tongue also cuts into my foot right now, but I'm hoping that it will stop after I break them in more. Otherwise, NICE!

Flippin Sweet- This is definitely a comfy shoe. Built in arch support, but you can’t feel it pushing up on your foot! I'd definitely recommend this to avid soccer players like me if your feet get sore a lot. Mine hardly ever hurt now! Beware ~ PEOPLE WILL ASK: "Did you highlight your shoes?"

Sooooper Boots! Just used them this weekend. Unbelievably comfortable, considering they were straight out of the box. They feel a little slim at first, but it soon goes away!

Reliving my youth- I cried when my old classics had to be thrown out this summer after 9 years. I wavered for a while about getting new ones, but when I found this style the search was over. They fit well- I am a W9-9.5 and I got a M7.5, which is perfect. Took a couple of days to break in, but now they are fine- the tongue is a little rough at first. The green is intense, but really just hypnotic.

My son says his Sambas are AWESOME - My 16 year old asked for these shoes and he does not get enthused about anything. He loves his Addidas Samba so much. He loves that he is the only person in his school with these shoes. He says they are comfortable and they appear to be very durable.

Adidas samba exclusive review - I liked the look of the shoe and the quality. But the first few days of wearing them gave my ankles blisters. But as time went on they got better.

Fun shoes and Zappos rules - Wow, what a great shoe. Make sure you understand though that these bad boys are BRIGHT! We are talking day glo. Also, Sambas run big, make sure you know your Samba size before you order. And Zappos of course, rules. They even bumped up my shipping for free for no apparent reason! I received my order in like 3 days. Thanks Zappos!

Timeless Shoe - The Perfect Shoe.. Ok, in case you have been living under a rock for your whole life, let me introduce you to the samba. The Adidas Samba shoe. One of the most popular shoes ever, and definitely the overall best. I have had over 20 Samba "Nubuck" shoes in my lifetime. At the moment the nubuck's (which are the ones that were insanely popular during the mid-90s.. and have white-gummy soles instead of natural brown-rubber) are discontinued. I liked those more than the regulars becasue they were slightly more durable (sole-wise). These regular Sambas are designed for indoor-soccer. Those were changed slightly to increase durability in outdoor play. But its not a big difference - the Adidas Samba should be in everyones shoe collection. Its like Casablanca for movies, or Beethoven for music. Either way, its a masterpiece. Adidas is constantly putting out new, taking out old styles for this shoe. While the colors might change a little.. its still the old Samba. Just pick a style scheme you like best and buy it. When you get them, they are narrow for 2 days. Yes. don't whine - dont' return them. Just wear them, you'll be thankful after. If you have foot problems and need a lot of comfort/support - these are the wrong shoes. But if you play Soccer/Futbol, Race cars, ride motorcycles, ... do any other type of Sport that requires speed, quickness, light weight, traction, durability, and the utmost trust GET ADIDAS SAMBA! the best all around shoe ever made. also its probably the most exact sizing you'll ever find. if you're a 9".. buy a 9.

Great shoe, great service - I love these shoes. I got them 3 weeks ago and they are quite possibly the best shoes I have ever owned. I love the look and style and they feel great too. One thing - when I got them they were a little narrow. If you just wear them around the house for a day or two they will break in nicely, so don't worry about it if the shoe feels a bit too narrow. All in all, a great shoe, and great customer service by Zappos!

Great Shoe - I love these! I had original Samba's and thought I would get these for my next pair. I'm glad I did. They are just as comfortable as the originals. They fit just a little bit tighter than my originals, although I got the same size. If I get another pair when these wear out, I will get a half size larger.

These are the business!! These Samba's are the absolute business. If I'm not mistaken, Adidas used to do a "Franz Beckenbaur" shoe back in the 70's that had stripes of a similar colour. They were a little stiffer than your run of the mill Samba's, but are now breaking in nicely after only a few times wearing them. Needless to say they turn heads. Love the lighter coloured gum sole as well.

Green Samba - In the past (80ties?) there have been limited releases of Samba's with stripes that were red or green. I always wanted a pair and was amazed to find these green ones at Zappos. These are a retro soccer lover's retro shoes

Overall nice shoe - I bought these for my brother who plays indoor soccer and I thought they would make him stand out because of the color and he really stands out. I was a bit shocked when I saw the actual color, it is like a highlighter! Very bright, almost enough to be a crossing guard. Other than that, great shoe, just enough grip on the bottom for running on turf.

I always get tons of compliments whenever I wear these shoes, on both the color and the style. Unfortunately, I wear them much less that I'd like because of how narrow they are. I have an average width foot and these are tight on me. The tightness is manageable for day-to-day wearing, but when I try to jog or run, they constantly become untied.

Slime Light Styles Right - Sick addition to Samba family. It’s true, people will ask if you highlighted the stripes but when you tell them it’s EXCLUSIVE, they'll say, "That's effin sweet!" The neon color looks way better in real life than compared to online pics. Too bright online, more neon glow in person. You'll get positive attention especially from girls if you're a guy... only slight problem I have is the ankle/heel support area, a bit irritating rubbing against my ankles. Hopefully goes away once I break em' in. I have a pair of sexy white ones, same size and they are very comfortable, no ankle discomfort. They are great and extra hot at night when you want to show em' off. Thanks Zappos for this exclusive!

I always wear tiny socks so these rubbed the whole back of my heel off in one day, but after a couple days and a few band-aids it stretches out and fits great. So cute! I don't care about my heel, just about how awesomely neon these shoes are!

Cute retro shoe with the slime stripe! I saw a shoe like this in Holland only with blue body and green stripe, but couldn't find it anywhere in the U.S. Anyhow went for these instead since I wear a lot of green and love the retro look with the green stripe. I originally ordered my usual size (7.5) but found the toe box too narrow and tight. I sent them back and ordered up another 1/2 size (8) and it was just right! Now these are pretty comfortable (not quite up to modern padded standards, as is the case with most of these retro shoe reproductions) and very cute! For those with a wider foot (like mine) or who might just want an all around roomier shoe, I recommend ordering up one half size, but otherwise, a fantastic, very cute, very retro shoe!

Worth the price I paid- These shoes are cute, a fun green color and they have pretty good arch support and comfort for being such a small, flat shoe. It's so important that you wear good socks with these until you've broken them in. I have one of the worst blisters on my heel since I was a kid! The back of the shoe is very hard and not cushioned very much at all. These look great with shorts, jeans and anything else you want to pair it with. For once an Adidas shoe that didn't feel too wide!
