If you grew up watching a lot of Disney movies, then you have likely seen all of the 101 Dalmatians movies. From the classic animated movies to the newer live-action versions, we all seem to be obsessed with those adorable puppies and their spotted parents.
And who can really blame us? We love dogs! We love puppies! And we love Disney's 101 Dalmatians.
In fact, we are loving how many collaborations we are seeing featuring Disney's 101 Dalmatians. LEGO sets anyone?!
So it might come as no surprise that we are thrilled by the news that there is a new Disney collaboration coming to us from Adidas featuring the 101 Dalmatians. According to Footwear News, the classic Samba sneaker is getting a fun makeover with the help of one of the puppies from the movies. Specifically, it seems that Penny is getting her time to shine on the Samba sneaker.

While the Samba does retain many of the classic features we expect from this particular shoe from Adidas, all the small touches are there to allow Penny a chance to shine. The upper of the shoe has been made to look like dog hair with the help of texture and of course, we can't have a Dalmatian inspired anything without the black spotting over a white background, which can be seen at the heel of the shoe.
Where the logo is on the tongue of the shoe, we also get the Dalmatian spots as a background to the Adidas symbol. And yes, we have Penny running off with the show (or the shoe) as she is also printed on the sneakers towards the heel area as well.
Perhaps my favorite aspect of this sneaker is the fact that there is a golden charm, similar to a dog tag, that dangles from the back of the shoe that reads 101 Dalmatians.
Thanks to Insane Sneaker on Instagram, we have a great look at the Samba. Check it out below:
Overall, it is a classic Adidas Samba sneaker but with the added magic of Disney. And we love that for us. If you are a fan of Adidas and Disney, then this will definitely be a must have in your collection. Maybe it is me, but I feel like this is going to have to come home with us as dog lovers as well.
Currently, it is expected that this sneaker will hit stores in the summer of 2025, although no exact date has been released yet. And while there is no confirmed retail price yet, there have been some suggestions that we could see it priced over $100. Time will tell though when it comes to how much we will need to spend so that we can rock our Dalmatian love around town.
