After 2024 cemented leopard print as the reigning trend, 2025 has ushered in a new animal pattern obsession—cow print. Once reserved for ranchers, the bold black-and-white motif has taken over, spotted on cowboy-inspired coats, bags, and boots at Copenhagen Fashion Week. So naturally, when Adidas came out with a fresh spin on its fan-favourite Samba and SL 72 sneakers, fashion insiders and sneaker-heads all around the world fell head over heels for the fun drop. So much so, that the trainers sold out on ASOS moments after being released.
Fret not, however. If you weren't lucky enough to snap up a pair of these limited-edition trainers, there's good news. Adidas and ASOS have gotten together again to restock the cult-favourite trainers. Launching today at 12 pm, we're certain that the pairs aren't going to be around long; so hesitation is really not advised.

In case you haven't noticed already, the SL 72 silhouette is proving increasingly popular amongst fashion insiders, and this cow print version is probably the most stylish iteration.
Of course, if you get second time unlucky, don't worry as plenty of high street retailers have now jumped onto the cow print bandwagon. We've found similar pairs from Anthropologie and Next, but our favourite of them all has to be from River Island, courtesy of their strikingly similar design and budget-friendly price tag.
A standout addition to any trainer rotation, River Island's Brown Cow Print Lace Up Trainers are as versatile as they are stylish, just like the Adidas originals. For the office, pair them with a chunky knit and wide or barrel-leg trousers, and for off-duty errand runs, style them with a casual hoodie and relaxed denim jeans.
