Off-white with maroon is a warmer, quieter reading of the Samba than the white-and-black default, and this pair was produced as an exclusive for emmi rather than as a general release. The upper is leather and the outsole is gum, so the materials match what adidas puts on any standard Samba OG; the difference is distribution and colour rather than construction. Maroon turns up elsewhere in the line, including in the smallest size runs, but it has never been one of the model's default contrasts.
The date was 18 September 2024. Exclusive colourways sit awkwardly inside a catalogue as large as this one. They use the same pattern, the same leather and the same sole as the shoes on every shelf, and their whole claim rests on where they were sold and how many were made. That matters more here than it does for most models, because general-release Sambas are genuinely easy to find, so scarcity is the only variable a limited pair can move. No United States retail price is recorded for this version, which is normal for a partner exclusive that never entered adidas' own price list in that market.
