About the collection
Molly-Mae Hague's adidas collaboration has been one of the more anticipated drops of the year, and now the full picture is clear. Two shoes, two colour-ways, two very deliberate choices. The Samba 'Matcha' and the Superstar 'Latte' both drop on 9 April 2026 for £100 each, covering the two sides of Molly-Mae's signature neutral palette in one clean launch.
The concept came directly from her creative process. In her show Behind It All, Molly-Mae was seen working with adidas and debating colourways, landing on the matcha versus iced latte divide as the organising principle for the whole drop. As she put it: "I feel like you're either an iced latte girl or you're a matcha girl." That instinct shaped the entire collection.
The shoes are available via the adidas App draw on 8 April and through adidas, JD Sports, ASOS and OFFICE from 9 April. Style codes are KH8706 for the Samba Matcha and KH8707 for the Superstar Latte.

Release date and price
Both pairs release on Thursday 9 April 2026. The adidas App draw opens on Wednesday 8 April at 10:30 AM and is the best way to secure either pair ahead of the wider launch. Given the profile of the collaboration and recent Samba sell-out speeds, entering the draw early is the smart move.
Both shoes are priced at £100. Wider retail availability across JD Sports, ASOS and OFFICE means there are multiple places to try, but stock will be limited and the draw gives the best guarantee of securing a pair.
Samba 'Matcha' – design and details
The Samba 'Matcha' builds on the classic Samba silhouette with soft suede in Magic Lime across the upper, offset by Off White stripes and overlays. The muted green tone sits in exactly the right place, referencing matcha without leaning into anything too bold or seasonal. A creamy leather base and textured midsole keep the overall look grounded and wearable.
Double lace detailing adds a layered quality that elevates the shoe beyond a standard Samba colourway, with a hint of baby pink threading through the lacing that ties back to Molly-Mae's Spring Summer 2026 moodboard. No visible MM branding on the exterior, which is by design. The whole point of this drop is that it feels like something she would actually wear, not something with her name slapped on it.
Superstar 'Latte' – design and details
The Superstar 'Latte' takes the iced latte side of the palette. Cream White leather forms the base with Earth Strata tones on the three stripes, giving the shoe a warm, layered feel that reads elevated without trying too hard. The iconic rubber shell toe stays in place, keeping the Superstar's heritage identity intact while the colourway does something distinctly current with it.
Double lace detailing mirrors the Samba, tying the two pairs together as a collection. The leather upper and textile lining keep comfort consistent, and the rubber outsole stays true to the classic Superstar construction. This is the more versatile of the two in terms of styling range, working across a wider variety of outfits than the Samba's more specific aesthetic.

The Molly-Mae x adidas story
Molly-Mae has been an organic adidas advocate for years. Track bottoms, Sambas and Spezials have been consistent fixtures across her content and public appearances, which is exactly why this collab feels earned rather than manufactured. When she announced the partnership she called it "a dream years ago" that still didn't feel real, and the creative direction was genuinely hers from start to finish.
Steve Marks, VP Brand adidas UK, described it as a "natural evolution" of a relationship that developed organically. The collection also includes a curated range of adidas Originals apparel in the same neutral palette, but the shoes are the headline.
Why this release matters
The Samba has been one of the most consistently sold-out adidas silhouettes for the past couple of years. A collaboration with one of the UK's most followed creators on that exact model is going to create serious demand, and the 'Matcha' colourway is genuinely well-executed rather than just commercially obvious.
At £100 for both pairs the price keeps them accessible, which only adds to demand. Enter the adidas App draw early and have a backup plan at JD Sports, ASOS or OFFICE for launch day.
