By Denis KataevFounder & Editor
A new Samba typically costs $70 right now. That's the median cheapest pair in sizes 8 to 12 across the 150 Samba pairs I check every night, and 121 of the 147 with a known retail price (82%) sell under retail in at least one size. The full lineup is in every Samba.
The cheapest right now
- Samba “White Green”: $49 in size 10.5, $51 under its $100 retail. That's one size only. Every other size from 8 to 12 runs $62 to $79, still under retail.
- Samba “White Black Gum”: $58 in size 8.5, $42 under retail and down from $59 a week ago. All nine sizes from 8 to 12 are under retail.
- Samba “Black Gum”: $67 in size 8.5, $33 under its $100 retail, same as a week ago. The other sizes sit between $69 and $80.
- Wales Bonner x Samba “Leopard”: $480 in size 11.5, which is $260 over its $220 retail. That's the floor for this pair; a size 8 asks $1,332.
The most-listed pairs
I only see asks here, not sales, so take these as prices, not a popularity chart.
- Wales Bonner x Samba “Silver Metallic”: $482 in size 10, $282 over its $200 retail. A week ago that size was $289, so the floor rose 67%. Sizes 8 and 9 went the other way, to $547 and $550.
- Lionel Messi x Samba “Cream White”: $73 in size 11.5, down from $83. Four sizes are under its $100 retail, and the other five ask $105, just over it.
- Samba “Core Black”: $54 in size 11.5, $36 under its $90 retail, unchanged this week. A size 9 is $61; a 10.5 at $104 is the only size over retail.
What this means for a buyer
For a plain Samba, I wouldn't pay full retail. The “White Green”, “White Black Gum” and “Black Gum” are under retail in every size from 8 to 12. The Wales Bonner pairs are a different market, and every size there is far over retail. If you wear a 10.5, I'd take the “White Green” at $49 now. Everyone else can browse every Samba under retail.
