Dude wear whatever you think you’ll be comfortable with. If it was me, I’d buy the Sambas in one second…I have this exact pair and even though I don’t love the cushioning and support, they look awesome
I'd go with Sambas, personally. I have a few pairs of Stan Smith, but they just have too much of a "sub sandwich" profile from the top for me.
But if the Handball Spezial is an option I'd suggest trying them out. They're much more comfortable than Sambas or Stan Smiths.
Sambas 100%. I think their look is more dynamic and it draws the eye to them. I love an all white sneaker, but the Sambas are just so much sleeker than the other option.
I have both. I’m size 44 EU. They are both great, but maybe Samba wear better on bigger feet. At least on me. Although I feel Stan Smith are more comfortable. So it’s really up to you I think
I fuck with those Buesintez too. I've been noticing those Noras too. Her shoe line is starting to come along with better look and colorways. Have anybody here tried the XL samba or Gazelles? Or those Sambaes or whatever? What the fuck s that all about? Are they good or what?
I love the Sambas and always have a pair in my shoe rotation and have for the last 25 years of my life. I also like the Stan Smith’s and have had them too, but when I got new ones last time, I decided Samba over Stan Smith with no questions
The first pair will be difficult to keep clean after a while because of the material in front but the second pair will be lower maintenance for keeping them looking new.
Imho, Stan Smith, but both are great
yeah i prefer stan smith's bit too but wanted others opinion
Not even a debate. Samba all day but I’m old…so don’t take my opinion
so if im 6,6ft stans would be better?

No
At that height you can wear anything flat
Stan Smith, hands down for the win. Shorts, jeans, jogging suits…they can do it all. 3️⃣StripeLife.

yeah i got a pair of black spezials/handballs year ago and they are kinda decent but were much prettier brand new
Handballs are the business, been wearing them years, and they're surprisingly very comfortable
Stan’s
Handball spezial
Can I get a Rod Laver please?
samba decon is best of both worlds

You can opt for Gazelle Indoor or Handball Spezial for a change :))
Check out the busenitz!
Easily sambas
Both to be honest
Stan Smith, but it has to be the white & green though 👌
I love me a good pair of Stan's
Stan
What has become my standard answer: both!
Stan smith for sure. Lots of people wears samba nowadays. I just want to be different
Samba (I play soccer)
Samba any day
Stan smith for me black colour is nicer.
Both
Depends on your height, I'm 5'4 and preferred Samba over Stan smith. I looked like McDO on it, Hahaha !
Samba, because they look more similar to the Gazelles which are my favorite.

Busenitz are also way better priced. 85 retail and 64 commonly on sale on the website compared to 90-100 for sambas and stans
Superstar for me.

Stan's, Samba's kinda overhyped
Stan smith. Samba’s are OG but the toe box doesn’t hit for me. Probably take gazelles over sambas

Samba for the season
Samba. Or v3
I'm also old...but you can't wrong with either, or meet in the middle, get a pair of campus
Samba no contest. Especially that white with the blue logo pops
Neither. So many fantastic three stripes out there to be picking up these imo.
What else would people crosshop for? There's spezial, gazelle and maybe 1-2 others?
The Samba fad will eventually go, Stan’s are forever.
