adidas brings its gaming crossovers to the terrace with a Samba Brawl Stars edition for kids. Pairing the Samba, one of the most in-demand sneakers of the last few years, with a hit mobile game is a direct play for younger fans and the parents buying for them.
It is a low-risk way to keep the Samba in front of a new audience while the silhouette is still riding its wave.
