A classy look isn't stopping the adidas Samba from rocking out with its tongues out.

Some of the brand's best Sambas are the long-tongue editions, which feature, well, elongated flappy tongues that call back to the more classic soccer-shoe look, as well as the great Wales Bonner collaboration.

Another great thing about the Samba LT is its luxe looks. Take this natural leather version for instance, which creates this butter-soft look for the trendy model.

The newest Samba even comes in classic black and white colorways, joined by pleasing brown contrast details that will only add to the shoe's charm as the supple leather settles in over time.

There must be a catch with Sambas this good, right? Well, they might be a tough to cop. The buttery adidas steppers will release exclusively at Urban Research, a Japanese brand that's also delivered other high-end takes on adidas classics (luxe Stan Smiths, anyone?).

For the label's next trick, it has created what may be the softest Sambas yet.

The new adidas Samba LT will be available for pre-order on Urban Research's website for ¥17,600 (roughly $114), starting on January 29.
