[adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-adidas-samba-og)' signature Sleek sneaker model arrives in new colorways to welcome the Spring season -- the latest drop features a selection of pastel hues, making up four new colorways. The new selection features a variety of new detail touch-ups, featuring new enclosure options of zippers and velcro in addition to the traditional lacing systems. There is also an iteration that takes on a mid-top structure.

The latest selection drew inspiration from the label's own tennis footwear archives, constructed from [soft leather throughout the uppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-lt) and accented with the Three Stripes as branding. The stripes are informed through perforated methods accompanied by [Trefoil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperboost) and stitching accents as well. The pink and red sneakers are enclosed with laces, the white and yellow feature velcros, and Sleek Z pastel blue is closed using zippers, and the white and pink versions are complete in a mid-top silhouette.
