Adidas X Harris Tweed Samba Collection

A Blend of Tradition and Modern Style

Autumn/Winter 2024 brings an exciting new collaboration between Adidas and Harris Tweed Hebrides, showcasing a fresh take on classic streetwear.

Adidas has introduced two new versions of its iconic Samba sneaker, with one colourway already sold out! Featuring the timeless elegance of Harris Tweed®. Launched on 5th September, the collection is already gaining attention for its unique blend of heritage fabric and modern design.

Harris Tweed®

Is renowned for its deep-rooted history in British fashion. Crafted for centuries on the Isle of Harris in Scotland, this fabric stands as a symbol of durability, craftsmanship, and timeless style. With this latest collaboration, tweed takes on a contemporary twist, bringing its traditional charm into the spotlight of modern fashion.

This partnership highlights the adaptability of Harris Tweed®, seamlessly blending its rich heritage with Adidas’ innovative streetwear aesthetic. Harris Tweed Hebrides has a history of working with high-profile brands, including the likes of Manolo Blahnik, and this latest venture with Adidas further elevates its status in global fashion.

Margaret Ann Macleod, CEO of Harris Tweed Hebrides, expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration

“It’s exciting to see Harris Tweed® showcased in such a modern way with an iconic design like the Adidas Samba. Tweed’s versatility allows it to adapt to contemporary styles while retaining its timeless appeal. This partnership celebrates British craftsmanship and introduces our heritage material to a new generation.”

Sustainability is a key aspect of this collaboration, as the tweed used in the new Sambas is made from 100% British wool, a natural, durable, and traceable material.

Graham Clark, Director of Marketing at British Wool, emphasised the importance of this approach.

“This collaboration not only highlights British craftsmanship but also promotes the use of sustainable, natural materials in fashion. It’s a fantastic celebration of British wool and heritage.”

The Adidas x Harris Tweed Hebrides Samba collection is now available in sizes 3-13.5, retailing at £120. They are selling fast so don’t hang about.
