Aside from the style and comfort, a shoe's color can make or break the deal when choosing a pair of sneakers.
For a pair of Adidas Sambas, the OG White Cloud a.k.a the black-and-white colorway is a crowd favorite. But when you want to switch things up a bit and add a little color to your life—or your collection of sneakers-you could go for subtle yet still classic hues like nude and pastels. Not to mention, you're going to stand out from the thousands of feet wearing the OG color.
In the list ahead, we rounded up Samba styles in pastel and nude colorways that are worth adding to your collection.
LOOK: The Adidas Samba Also Comes in Nude or Pastel

Nudes are totally "fetch" (we're making it happen) these days. The color palette is pleasing to the eyes, and, like the blacks and whites, can complement every color. You won't have any problem pairing it with your ensembles, making it perfect for when you don't want to stray too far from your favorite white pairs.
Sambae Shoes in Wonder White/Cloud White/Silver Metallic
Sambae Shoes in Wonder White / Cloud White / Silver Metallic, P6,800, ADIDAS, adidas.com
This specific Sambae pair comes in this off-white, nudish color for the upper and white on the stripes and around the back heel. The nubuck detail on the T-toe gives off a suede look and feel—with a different color tone than the rest of the upper. It's like your usual white sneakers but with a twist.
Sambae Shoes in Almost Blue/Cloud White/Silver Metallic

There's something about pastel blue that makes everything so cute and fluffy, and this Sambae pair is no exception. This style comes in a cloud-like light blue hue mixed with a more muted shade on the nubuck detail on the T-toe, along with some white accents on the three stripes and around the back heel. We can definitely imagine wearing these steppers for picnic dates in a park!
Humanrace Samba Shoes in Aluminum/Aluminum/Wonder Mauve
Humanrace Sambae Shoes in Aluminium / Aluminium / Wonder Mauve, P12,000, ADIDAS, adidas.com
The Humanrace Samba Tones by Pharell is one of the Sambas' various looks—a collection of premium Sambas in cool colorways. This pair boasts an extra-long foldover tongue and ultra-premium leather in the classic silhouette. Now, this isn't too neutral or plain, because it has a light tan for the upper and a muted pink peach for the stripes and the sides.
This design also comes in the Orbit Green and Ash Grey colorway, which has a smooth beige color for the upper and muted blue for the stripes, lining, and sides.
Samba Shoes in Halo Blush/Clay Strata/Gum
Samba Shoes in Halo Blush/Clay Strata/Gum, P8,000, ADIDAS, adidas.com
Want to go full nude? This Samba in a Halo Blush/Clay Strata/Gum hue is your best pick. It's dressed in a nude color palette, from the upper down to the sole; from the tongue logo to the laces. You can barely notice the iconic three stripes because they seamlessly blend in with the upper.
Handball Spezial Shoes in Shadow Brown/Aluminum/Gum
Handball Spezial Shoes in Shadow Brown/Aluminum/Gum, P5,300, ADIDAS, adidas.com
Okay, before you go saying, "This isn't a Samba!" Well, yes, this isn't a Samba, but they're definitely close enough. The Spezials are the next best thing if you can't quite find the Samba that you're looking for. They both combine leather and suede. Granted, the Handball gives off a more old-school vibe.
This specific pair ticks all the right boxes: white, nude, and pastels. It has a predominantly white upper, sans the pastel blue touches on the iconic three stripes and the back heel. You can also spot the gold "Spezial" logo on the side and stitch on the tongue.
