The adidas Samba hype may not be as massive as it was a couple of years ago. However, thanks to new versions and collaborations, the model's presence on the market remains pretty strong.

Really, the Samba collection is only getting bigger...slicker, too.

The classic adidas model is back with another sauced-up look, this time appearing with shiny patent leather uppers.

It's essentially the same concept as those "Bruce Lee" pairs, but with a different "Aurora Ivy" color scheme.

Patent leather Sambas don't come around as often as the standard smooth leather versions. But when adidas does decide to polish up its soccer shoe, we're met with cool options, such as Sambas in shiny "tuxedos," glazed long-tongue iterations, and even puffed-up pairs from a former YEEZY designer.

The adidas Samba "Aurora Ivy" sneakers are expected to drop soon on the brand's website, joining the "Bruce Lee" versions for a glistening fall debut.
