adidas Samba Classic Indoor Shoes - model 772109

adidas Samba Classic Indoor Shoes - model 772109
 
Appearance: When you first pull them out of the box they'll catch you off guard by how white they are, but you'll get over it. And if not, then go with the classic black version, adidas Samba Classic Indoor Shoes - model 034563. That being said, these shoes are so multifunctional it makes them such a great deal for under $60. I have two pair; one for kicking the ball around when I play indoor soccer with the boys, and one pair for wearing with jeans and a polo when I'm heading out on the town.

Performance: The great part about Sambas is you don't have to break them in. They are literally perfect as soon as you take them out of the box. They do run a little wide and about a 1/2 size long so keep that in mind when ordering. The gum rubber outsole gives you amply traction for indoor soccer and the suede toe box provides a nice touch and a little extra reinforcement. They are flexible which allows for comfortable running and will get even more flexible after a few uses. The one drawback is the huge tongue. I know a lot of people fold them down and tie their laces over it, but I prefer to cut mine down. I take a sharp pair of scissors and trim along the horizontal ribs just below the adidas tag. If you do end up doing this, be sure you're keeping them because you're probably not going to be able to return or exchange them afterwards.

Rating: 8.5/10
