Australian fashion imprint [Song](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-og-sneaker) for the [Mute](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/song-for-the-mute-adidas) works together with [adidas Originals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tweed-samba) to update its Country sneaker model, presenting the SFTM-003 silhouette. It was first seen when Song for the Mute unveiled its collection in Paris for the Fall/Winter 2024 season.

It adds textural accents with its hairy palette and earthy tones to bring it to life, elevating the retro design first seen in the 70s. The upper is comprised of a blend of pony hair and patent leather for a seamless shine. It is also accented by suede -- the materials blend together black, tan, and burgundy colors. Together, it delivers the options of three colorways with a traditional lacing system along the forefoot in off-white.
