Adidas' emphasis on the napped leather material is no joke: They are now fully embracing the suede by covering the entire upper with the well-liked material and even the eyelets for the flat laces are made out of it. Overall, the silhouette is rather slender due to a narrow toe box and mid-foot - this may render the shoes a bit constricting for wide-footed people. Another thing we didn't particularly enjoy was the laces being a bit on the short side, which limits the wearer a bit when tieing the shoelacing before heading out to meet with the lads. Samba Suede: Price UK

From Adidas' Samba and Originals collection, these 1950s football-inspired trainers are made out of suede and leather materials with a rubber sole and EVA. It is designed to be worn during the spring and summer seasons. Compared to its predecessor, the upper is now also suede and holds down your feet well with its topline, but does not limit your mobility when walking. The topline is adequately cushioned to keep the ankle comfortable and the retro design is fashionable without being overbearing or coming across as antiquated. Quite the contrary, this makes the Samba Suede a visually lasting pair that would always stay trendy. Suede All the Way
