Dingyun Zhang, a Central Saint Martins graduate, has been making waves in the fashion industry with his distinctive style. His approach often features fluid, transformative designs with abstract elements, which are subtly integrated into this latest footwear collaboration.

Key features of the Dingyun Zhang x Adidas Originals Samba “Core Black” sneakers

Unique design

The Dingyun Zhang x Adidas Originals Samba “Core Black” sneakers are distinguished by their unique design elements. While keeping the Samba's famous shape, Zhang adds the puffed-up and overstated proportions that are typical of his design style. However, these details are used in a subtle way that keeps the sneakers stylish without being too much.


Premium materials

The shoes' textural contrast, which is enhanced by their combination of suede and patent leather, adds to their visual attractiveness. The heel tab, mudguard, and eye stay are all made of suede, which gives them a plush, velvety feel. In contrast, the patent leather details on the Adidas Three Stripes merge seamlessly with the sneaker's quarter panels, creating a sleek and unified look.

Versatile styling

These highly adaptable sneakers come in an all-black colorway. They look great with everything - from dressy ensembles to streetwear that is more relaxed.
