Thanks to today’s viral adidas X ASOS cow-print sneaker drop, there’s a certain buzz in the air among the fashion set. One which can only be felt when we all, collectively, swoon over the same sartorial must-have. Adidas teaming up with ASOS to drop both cow-print Sambas and SL72s is illustrative of the phenomenon – in the same way the leopard-print Adidas Samba, Uniqlo crossbody bag and COS quilted mini bag launches were.
It’s no surprise this drop is big news. The cow-print trend has been sweeping my FYP for weeks now – and while it took me a hot minute to consider ditching my beloved leopard-print in favour of it, the street style scene has got me convinced. TBH, Weekday’s cow-print jeans and Samoe Samoe’s influencer-adored cow-print jacket still feel a bit too bold for my often-minimalist wardrobe, so cow-print accessories are my entry point. Perfect timing, then.
In the adidas X ASOS cow-print drop, there are two styles to get your mitts on: the Samba and the SL72.
The Sambas are likely the more familiar of the two: a ubiquitous silhouette that has dominated the zeitgeist over recent years – and remains big news in 2025 thanks to this rodeo-ready upgrade. Inspired by an archive adidas football boot from the Fifties, the sneaker has been cosigned by Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Paul Mescal and Harry Styles (to name but a few) – and is adored for its sleek silhouette and wearability.
For a long time, the shoe has been available in a plethora of dopamine hues, but this ASOS X adidas cow-print drop has quickly been crowned my favourite. The shoe spotlights the brown-and-white pattern against a complementary powder-pink insole – which feels ultra-feminine and very spring. Best styled with Adidas Firebird track-pants or wide-leg jeans.
