The "Samba" football shoe is a popular choice for hard pitches, but also for wearing indoors. The X-wing shoe is part of the adidas X Star Wars Spring/Summer collection. The collection was divided into three categories

i Characters-Pack 

ii Vehicles-Pack

iii Direct-Pack

Design and Innovation

The shoe is designed for hard and smooth surfaces. It can be worn both outdoors and indoors. This particular colour-way emulates the look from the movie "Star Wars", inspired by the interceptor X-Wing. The classic Samba model from the 70's was inspired by the original black and white shoe worn by nearly every serious adidas Original around the world. Nowadays the Samba is one of adidas' iconic sneakers.

Materials

The upper is made of black, specially tanned cow hide (water-repellent). The back lining is made of calf leather.

The inlay sole is made of calf leather backed with 3mm foam.

The insole is made of chrome splits. The heel wedge is made of beige 7mm cellular rubber, the outsole of blue 10mm cellular rubber. The toe protector is made of compact blue 2mm rubber.
