Jonah Hill's adidas collaboration put the Samba into three greens at once: the colour list runs Green Night, Mineral Green and Ecru Tint, a dark base with a lighter green and a cream to break it up. The upper is leather. The build stays close to the general-release shoe rather than being reworked, so colour and material do all of the distinguishing, and the model's flat last, toe overlay and quarter stripes come through unaltered.
It released on 14 November 2020 at 90 dollars in the United States, the same day as a maroon make, and those two are what carried the project on this silhouette. The date is worth holding onto. The Wales Bonner Sambas arrived six days later, which means two of the model's most discussed fashion collaborations landed inside a single week in a month when the shoe had almost no mainstream heat. Price is the other detail. At 90 dollars this sat at general-release level rather than at the 160 or 180 dollar collaboration premium that became normal for the model within two years.
