Accompanying the Samba Millennium are equally compelling offerings in the form of the adidas Samba MN and the adidas SL72. Whether it's the timeless appeal of the MN or the retro-inspired vibes of the SL72, Wales Bonner and adidas deliver a diverse array of footwear options to suit every discerning taste.
