Humanrace Samba Tones and Colors

The 2022 launch ran a football-tongue Samba in full leather with a suede T-toe overlay at $120. The 2023 Tones capsule went monochromatic in ECCO full-grain leather at $200. The 2024 Colors Pack pivoted to a two-tone grey base with one bright accent on the Three Stripes at $180.

Premium ECCO full-grain leather across the whole upper, including the stitching details, with tonal rubber midsoles and outsoles. Sneaker Bar Detroit and Sole Retriever both call out monochromatic ECCO leather as the through-line for Terracotta, Charcoal, and the broader Tones set.

Each pair pairs an Alumina grey leather-and-suede base — leather across the eyestays, tongue, and body, suede on the T-shaped toebox — with a single bright on the Three Stripes, heel tab, sockliner, and inner lining. Six colors: Preloved Green, Core Black, Glory Red, Cloud White, Bold Gold, and a Royal Blue.

The Tones capsule is priced as a premium leather project at $200 per pair because the whole upper is ECCO full-grain. The 2024 Colors Pack drops to $180 and uses a mixed leather-and-suede grey construction, which keeps the look cleaner without the all-over leather build.

A two-pair Humanrace Samba release between the Tones and Colors phases: ID3127 in Alumina / Wonder Mauve and ID8712 in Orbit Green / Ash Grey. Both carry the foldover football tongue, ECCO leather, zig-zag stitching, and a $180 retail on November 3, 2023.

It is on the 2022 launch, the 2023 Tones, and the November 2023 ID3127 / ID8712 pair. Highsnobiety noted the 2024 Colors Pack pulled the foldover tongue and ran a buttery ribbed tongue instead.
