Questions answered
FAQ
What is the Adidas Tobacco?
It is a terrace-culture shoe from Adidas's 1970s-80s European archive, named after the Brazilian city. It features the slim suede profile and gum sole common to Adidas's indoor sport heritage, with a more obscure identity than the Samba or Gazelle.
How does the Tobacco compare to the Samba?
The Samba has massive mainstream momentum while the Tobacco is a deeper-cut option for connoisseurs. Both share similar construction and terrace DNA, but the Tobacco is slimmer and less common, appealing to people who want something more obscure.
Is the Tobacco comfortable?
Like all flat-sole terrace shoes, it provides minimal cushioning. The suede upper is soft and comfortable on the foot, but the flat gum sole is not designed for extended walking.
Does the Tobacco run true to size?
It runs narrow with a slim European fit. Half size up is recommended for wider feet. The suede stretches slightly with wear.
