It’s official: leopard print has had its moment. For most of 2024, it reigned supreme as the go-to animal print, splashed across everything from coats to handbags and even sneakers. The adidas x Wales Bonner Leopard Samba was the undisputed “it” shoe of 2024, making its way onto the feet of every “cool” girl. After a year of letting leopard print run wild through our wardrobes, fashion is settling into tamer pastures. Enter cow print—a fresher, quirkier alternative to the overdone feline spots.
Leave it adidas to turn the trend into the coolest, absolutely must-have sneakers. Following the success of its Leopard trainers, the sportswear giant has teamed up with ASOS to deliver the sneaker drop of the season: the Cow-Print adidas’Samba OG’ and ‘SL72’ trainers. With their pony-hair pattern and powder-pink accents, these kicks are about to become the must-have footwear of 2025.
The adidas x ASOS cow-print drop gives us two distinct silhouettes to obsess over:
THE SAMBA ‘OG’ IN COW PRINT
You know it, you love it, and you’ve seen it everywhere. The ‘Samba’ remains one of Adidas’ most beloved styles, a staple for sneakerheads and fashion insiders alike. It’s sleek, versatile, and effortlessly cool. This new iteration takes it up a notch with a brown-and-white cow-print upper and a soft pink insole. It’s playful yet wearable, making it the perfect transition piece to elevate minimal outfits.
THE ‘SL72’ IN COW PRINT
A lesser-known but equally stylish contender, the ‘SL72’ brings a slightly retro edge to the table. Originally a running shoe, this silhouette has made a quiet comeback in fashion circles, and this cow-print revamp gives it fresh relevance. If you love a vintage-inspired sneaker moment, this one’s for you.
If history has taught us anything, it’s that a hyped adidas drop doesn’t stick around for long. The Wales Bonner Sambas? Gone in minutes. The silver and crocodile versions? Also sold out. These cow-print beauties are likely to follow suit, so if you want in on 2025’s hottest sneaker in your closet, well…. you know what to do.
