DRIFT

On June 6, 2026, adidas Originals and Coca-Cola are dropping one of the most nostalgic collaborations of the year: the Coca-Cola x adidas Samba OG “Red/Black” with style code KH6893.

This vibrant red and black colorway merges Coca-Cola’s iconic branding with the timeless Samba silhouette, creating a shoe that feels both retro and fresh. It’s positioned as a standout piece in a larger Coca-Cola x adidas collection that includes multiple Sambas, Superstars, and apparel.

The KH6893 features a bold Coca-Cola Red suede and textile upper covered in repeating white “Coca-Cola” script logos. Black accents on the heel tab, eyestay, and three stripes provide sharp contrast, while red laces and lining complete the energetic look.

Signature Samba details remain intact:

  • Gum rubber outsole with classic herringbone pattern
  • T-toe suede overlay
  • Low-profile vulcanized construction
  • Co-branded insoles and tongue labels

A small Coca-Cola bottle cap-inspired detail appears on the lateral side, adding a coltish touch. The overall aesthetic blends 1950s Americana with 1970s football heritage — two worlds that adidas has mastered.

why

The Samba has experienced one of the biggest resurgences in sneaker history. Once a niche indoor football shoe, it became a streetwear staple thanks to its minimalist design and versatility. Pairing it with Coca-Cola — one of the world’s most recognizable consumer brands — creates instant cultural resonance.

Coca-Cola’s red is instantly identifiable, making these shoes highly photogenic for social media. The all-over branding feels maximalist yet cohesive, appealing to both longtime Samba fans and newer streetwear crowds.

  • Release Date: June 6, 2026
  • Style Code: KH6893
  • Where to Buy: adidas.com, select adidas Originals stores, and major retailers like Foot Locker, JD Sports, and online platforms

Expect heavy demand. Previous Coca-Cola collections have sold out quickly, and the Samba’s current popularity will only amplify this. Raffles and early access via adidas Confirmed app are highly recommended.

This release arrives at a perfect time. The Samba continues dominating streets, runways, and celebrity feet. Coca-Cola, meanwhile, has been leaning into lifestyle and fashion partnerships. Together, they tap into themes of nostalgia, day enjoyment, and bold self-expression.

The Red/Black version stands out as the most vibrant in the collection. While other colorways lean more subtle (black/silver or white/red), the KH6893 makes a loud statement — great for summer fits, casual outings, or collecting.

The Coca-Cola x adidas Originals Samba OG “Red/Black” (KH6893) successfully balances brand synergy with wearable style. It honors both the heritage of the Samba and the global icon status of Coca-Cola without feeling gimmicky.

Releasing right at the start of summer 2026, these should become a seasonal favorite. Either you’re pairing them with jeans, shorts, or tracksuits, they deliver maximum personality with classic comfort.

Mark your calendars for June 6 — this is one collab you don’t want to sleep on.
