The collaboration between Adidas and Pharrell began in 2014, and since then, the duo has released numerous collections of sneakers and apparel, all marked by bright colors, bold patterns, and unique details. The Humanrace Samba Colours collection, available in solid hues of white, black, and terracotta, is expected to be an embodiment of Pharrell's unique style and creativity.

The Adidas x Pharrell Samba Humanrace sneakers leave netizens unimpressed with their lack of colors

The Adidas x Pharrell Samba Humanrace sneakers pay homage to the original Samba from 1949. These sneakers feature Adidas' signature three-stripe branding, decorated with zig-zag stitching.

The classic T-toe design is rendered in leather, and the midsole is housed in rubber, providing extra grip and traction. A massive tongue adds to the unique design, accompanied by genuine rawhide laces left unfinished for a sartorial touch.

The information about the sneakers on the official website of Humanrace is as follows:

"Pharrell and Adidas Originals introduce an elevated reconstruction of the Samba as a celebration of the rich history of adidas football. Made with premium leather and suede in a Cloud White and Night Grey colorway."

While some fans have praised the Adidas x Pharrell Samba Humanrace sneakers for the elegance of the solid colors, most found them too pricey and even called them “horrible."
