Not seen these around for some time but the 1980s Adidas Samoa trainers are now back on the shelves for the year and new decade.

As the title says, these date back towards the 1980s and in those days it was virtually an all-round sports shoe. Similar to the Samba. Well, a minimum of when it comes to purpose. But the look is extremely different.

In fact, this is also dissimilar to the Samoa that was area of the Adidas Island Series, which only increases the confusion. This really is basically the one using the chunky toe.

This all-rounder returns in two colours options, both of which are pictured here. For me, the white with green details is simply better than the black version with the red details. Although that view may be affected by the grain from the finish on the black one.

Anyway, this is a low-cut shoe with this distinctive rubber toe bumper, some T-toe detailing as well as well as the Samoa name on the side as well as all the usual Adidas branding.

Just on the shelves, the new versions from the Samoa sell for lb54.95.
