Alright, folks, let’s talk about my little adventure with those Jonah Hill Samba kicks. I’ve been eyeing these babies for a while, and I finally decided to pull the trigger and grab a pair. Now, you know I’m all about sharing my experiences, so here’s the whole story, from start to finish.
The Hunt Begins
First off, I had to decide which color to get. I saw these green ones online, the “Green Night/Mineral Green/Ecru Tint,” and man, they looked sharp. But then I also saw the “Maroon/Noble Maroon/Ecru Tint” ones, and they were calling my name too! Decisions, decisions.
Making the Choice
After going back and forth, I finally settled on the green ones. They just seemed more versatile, you know? I could picture myself wearing them with more outfits. Plus, I read somewhere that they were one of the earlier Samba collaborations, so that made them feel a bit more special.
The Search
Now came the hard part: finding them in my size. I hit up a bunch of online stores, but no luck. Either they were sold out, or they didn’t have my size. It was a real pain in the you-know-what. I was starting to get discouraged, but I wasn’t giving up that easily.
A Stroke of Luck
Finally, I stumbled upon a smaller online shop that had them in stock. And guess what? They were even on sale! I couldn’t believe my luck. I quickly added them to my cart and checked out before they could disappear.
The Waiting Game
The next few days were torture. I was constantly checking the tracking information, waiting for that sweet, sweet delivery confirmation. I was like a kid waiting for Christmas morning, except instead of presents, it was a pair of shoes.
Unboxing Time
Finally, the day arrived. The delivery guy showed up, and I practically ripped the box out of his hands. I opened it up, and there they were, in all their glory. The leather looked even better in person, and that green color was just perfect. They were definitely worth the wait.
Trying Them On
Of course, I had to try them on right away. I slipped my feet in, and man, they were a bit snug. I’d read that Sambas can be like that at first because they were originally made for futsal. But the leather is supposed to stretch and mold to your feet, so I wasn’t too worried. Plus, the toe box seemed like it would give me more room over time.
Breaking Them In
I’ve been wearing them around for a few days now, and they’re already starting to feel more comfortable. The leather is softening up, and they’re starting to fit like a glove. I can tell they’re going to be my go-to shoes for a while. People mention that “They’re what Converse All Stars were in the 00s or Stan Smiths in the 2010s”.
Final Thoughts
- Look: 10/10. These shoes are stylish and classic.
- Comfort: Initially a bit snug, but they break in nicely.
- Quality: Top-notch. The leather is premium, and they feel well-made.
- Overall: I’m super happy with my purchase. These Jonah Hill Sambas are definitely a win. They seem to be very popular. According to some sources, “It is the second-highest selling Adidas design with over 35 million pairs sold worldwide”.
So, there you have it, my friends. My journey to getting my hands on these awesome kicks. If you’re thinking about getting a pair, I say go for it! Just be prepared for a bit of a hunt, and remember that they might be snug at first.
