Jonah Hill works in collaboration with adidas Originals on the Samba Pack of footwear that highlights the signature silhouette. The design language is inspired by retro elements, specifically the 90s and the actor contributes to three Samba models.
The first is a pair that features the colors Ecru Tint, Mineral Green, and Green Night, which is complete with bright green branding that is hand-written and translated onto the leather model informed by embroidery. This element is found on the mid panel beside the Three Stripes accent along with Hill's initials at the heel tab. The second colorway boasts red hues with bright orange detailing to add some vibrant contrast against the rich tonal base foundation.
