Choosing a Samba colourway
My sneaker wardrobe has white AF1s, beat up white stans and 10 year old black superstars well past their prime.
I'm thinking of getting Sambas, but stuck between black and midnight navy (both OG gum). Black is of course the classic Samba, but midnight navy seems more versatile.
Help me decide!

Hi @Aitana Bonmati! The best way to get a good answer is to ask a great question.
Please consider including:
- Reference pictures of things you like or are looking for. The more the better!
- Pictures of you wearing things if you have fit questions.
- A specific budget in numbers. “Affordable" means different things to different people.
- Specific measurements: Chest and waist are far more useful than height and weight.
- Measurements of your favourite fitting clothing. Learning these measurements will go a long way in helping you shop online and secondhand!
- Whether you're happy to buy secondhand.
- Whether you prefer to buy in person or are open to shopping online.
- Your vague location, especially if that limits your options because of customs or access to stores. A country or continent is helpful.
- Timescales: Do you need something urgently, or can you wait for the right thing at the right price?

Personally I think a black samba is more "versatile" than navy
but that is entirely in the context of the clothes I own
Black
the black sambas feel much easier to wear
there's not really many instances i can think of where navy is significantly better than black in a fit
Yeah I was leaning towards black, that seals it
Black is the iconic samba colour way for a reason.
