adidas Samba OG Animal Print - Red - UK 6.5

In footwear, 'pony hair' typically refers to calfskin leather that has been processed to retain its natural hair, giving it a distinctive soft, textured feel and often an exotic look. It is not derived from ponies.

While the original Samba design originated as an indoor football shoe, these specific Samba OG Animal Print versions are primarily intended for fashion and casual wear due to their unique materials. They are not recommended for high-performance athletic activities.

To clean, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush, always brushing in the direction of the hair. For stains, use a very slightly damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild, diluted soap, dabbing the stain carefully. Always air dry away from direct heat.

'OG' stands for 'Original.' In the context of adidas, it signifies that the design is a faithful re-release or directly inspired by the initial, classic version of the Samba shoe, often retaining vintage details and aesthetics.

These shoes feature a 'Regular fit.' Most wearers find adidas Samba models to fit true to their standard shoe size. For the best fit, consult adidas's official sizing chart if you are unsure.

The pony hair upper is not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid heavy rain or very wet conditions to protect the material from potential damage, matting, or staining. If they do get wet, air dry them immediately.

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush, always moving in the direction of the hair. This helps to restore its natural texture and sheen.

Lightly dab the stained area with a *slightly damp cloth* using a small amount of diluted mild soap. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing and allow to air dry naturally.

Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a soft brush or old toothbrush with a mild detergent solution to clean the surface, then wipe clean.

Ensure laces are not overtightened. Allow for a short break-in period for the leather to conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, verify your size against adidas's sizing guide.
