The future of adidas' ballet sneakers looks quite bright, especially as the brand dips its best pairs in gold.

Even the Samba Jane is a golden girl, with adidas decking out the Mary Jane-inspired model in gold metallic leather uppers and straps.

Elsewhere, the Samba Mary Jane offers clean white leather accents for some classic contrast that doesn't steal the shine, of course.

The gold Samba Mary Jane, which is now available on adidas' website for $110, joins a few other impressive versions of the model, like the Samba Jane Ballet (an extra ballet-coded take) and those extremely mature dress-shoe-level pairs.
