The adidas Argentina Collection for the World Cup

The adidas Argentina Collection for the World Cup

Few national palettes are as instantly recognizable as Argentina's sky blue and white. adidas has leaned into it across a small run of World Cup terrace pieces, and we've pulled the Argentina-themed shoes and socks together so you can build the whole look. Here's what each piece is, how it fits, and how to wear it. For the live lineup, browse the full adidas World Cup collection.

Samba OG 'Argentina'

The Samba OG in the Argentina World Cup colorway takes the most famous terrace silhouette of the moment and wraps it in national-team styling. The Samba traces back to the late 1940s as an indoor soccer trainer, and the premium leather upper, low gum sole, and T-toe overlay all come straight from that heritage. It's the cleanest way to nod to Argentina without wearing an actual kit.

Handball Spezial 'Argentina'

The Black/White Handball Spezial is the understated pick. It uses a Core Black leather upper with Cloud White 3-Stripes — a sharper, smoother finish than the suede Spezials most people picture. First released in 1979 for elite handball players, the Spezial is the roomiest of the classic terrace models, so it's a strong option for wider feet and pairs easily with denim or grey sweats.

Gazelle Indoor 'Bringback Pack Argentina'

The Blue Gazelle Indoor 'Bringback Pack Argentina' is the most overtly themed shoe of the group. It pairs a Collegiate Royal striped textile upper with black leather 3-Stripes, a pale blue lining, and gold foil branding, sitting on the translucent gum outsole that gives the Indoor its floating look. It runs slightly narrow and sleek — if you're between sizes or have wider feet, consider sizing up.

Argentina Roller Crew Socks (3-Pack)

To finish the kit, the Argentina Roller 3-Pack crew socks use a white base with light blue striping pulled straight from the national colors. Crew height, ribbed support, true to size with moderate stretch — they look right with Sambas, Spezials, and the Gazelle Indoor alike.

Do these run true to size?

It depends on the silhouette. The Samba runs slightly long and narrow, so many people size down a half size. The Handball Spezial is the roomiest of the three and is generally true to size. The Gazelle Indoor is the slimmest and may warrant sizing up for wider feet. For a deeper breakdown, see our Handball Spezial sizing guide.

How to style the Argentina look

Sky blue and white sit best against neutral, worn-in pieces. Think faded or raw denim, navy track pants, olive fatigues, and plain grey or white tees. Let one Argentina piece lead — the Gazelle or the socks — and keep the rest of the outfit quiet so the color reads as intentional rather than costume. If you want a warmer counterpart palette, our adidas Mexico collection covers the green-and-white side of the same release.
