JJJJound x Adidas Samba (Made in Germany) "White": Review & On-Feet

Рет қаралды 16,099

Күн бұрын

JJJJound released their elevated take on the Adidas Samba late last month - but it wasn't without controversy. Advertised as a "Made in Germany" shoe, it came to light that the pairs were actually largely manufactured in Vietnam, with only the finishing touches actually done in the European country instead. So check out my review as I dive into the details and give you all an in-depth look at this pair to determine whether or not the quality is up to par and worthy of the price point!

If the majority of shoe was already made in Vietnam, they should've just finished it in Vietnam as well. We would save shipping and import costs and the labor costs. It would've been a $160-$180 for the exact same shoe. And this is coming from a JJJJound fanboy

Bist du dumm ? Und wir sind denn arbeitslos oder wie ? Auch fürs zusammenfügen braucht man Menschen. Der Preis ist doch egal. Wir müssen auch mal an unsere Menschen denken.

Picked this pair up for retails after how much I liked the Jjjjound pine green gore Tex 2002Rs. Really liking how they feel and look forward to wearing them. They are actually my first pair of sambas, wonder how common that is 😅

Kind of an unpopular opinion but I much prefer these over the Clark’s 8th Street Fieg joints, just off of the sole difference (and maintenance) alone. Waiting for mine to arrive. They’re probably going to be murder on my feet like a normal GR Samba but that quality looks bananas. Dope review, as always.

Nice, been waiting for this one. Took a massive L on Confirmed that day, but in some ways kind of glad considering it isn't truly Made in Germany. Somehow, I also expected Italian quality leather. It does look premium though. I think it would've looked nicer with a lighter brown gum outsole, similar the Pharrell Human Race Sambas.

MADE IN VIETNAM. ASSEMBLED IN GERMANY.

@Gojo1911 3 ай бұрын

It‘s a great pair. I don‘t get the hypocritical outcry, since NB can advertise the „made in the US/UK“ lines accordingly and nobody complains about it either. Some materials might be tanned (leather) and dyed somewhere else, but the end construction and accessories takes place in the US/UK or in this case in Germany

@danilocarlin5 3 ай бұрын

They have promoted and PRICED the shoe as fully made in Germany. The fact they have ripped off the Vietnam tag says it all. The shoe looks great, there was no reason to treat the costumer like that.

@whaiyun 3 ай бұрын

I wanted it but was only willing to pay if free ship from Confirmed. After taxes and jjjjound's shipping, it was $300 USD. Absolutely bollocks since it wasn't fully made in Germany.

@SCRandall 3 ай бұрын

While the shoe DOES abide by the laws and qualify as "made in Germany", it definitely feels like there is a massive asterisk when you talk about this shoe. As another commenter pointed out, if most of the shoe was already constructed in Vietnam, why not finish it there, saving money and reducing shipping costs/emissions? I'd also like to point out that if you're unhappy about this controversy, but you still think you would like this style of shoe, you may like the sneakers made by Collegium. They have shoes that look VERY similar to the Samba, but are made in the USA with materials sourced from Italy.

I wish it was a different colorway. It just looks too similar to the og even tho it has the elevated materials. Pass for me.

@GOD999MODE 12 сағат бұрын

If you're a wide footer, generally you go up ½ size on Sambas. With these being a more premium collab with softer leathers and materials, they will probably break-in much easier and mold to your foot shape over time. Not an IDEAL silhouette for wide footers, but it can be made to work.

@rontsang4308 3 ай бұрын

Well as long as it’s a great quality product, I’m not bothered by where’s made. Why German must make better products while Vietnamese must be inferior? The bottom line is always about how much Adidas is willing to spend on material. I’m sure if you pick an above average person on the Vietnamese production line, he or she won’t be any less than any German production person either. Give the Germans inferior stuff material and if they can turn them into buttery soft feeling shoes, then that’s something.

I copped this pair on Confirmed app, and I can confirm they are very high quality and buttery, but I personally wished the suede on toe box to have longer hair like the NB’s. I actually didn’t care if they’re made in Vietnam or Germany, I went for the quality and the JJJJound branding on the shoes

@CT37BN 3 ай бұрын

Looking more like 70%Vietnam 30%Germany.. added costs of shipping from Vietnam and back to Germany is what makes it more expensive.

@darrenmcsam6848 3 ай бұрын

JJJJJound is lazy, the pair looks like great quality but still more could've been done. I don't mind the "made in vietnam/made in Germany" thing since all the brands do the same, most notoriously New Balance with the made in USA/made in UK stuff, it just feels disingenuous to market and price them for something they are not.
