FAQs
Are Adidas Samba OG shoes suitable for running or sports?
While the Samba OG has roots in indoor football, it is now primarily a lifestyle and casual sneaker. It's not designed with the advanced cushioning and support needed for modern running or high-impact sports. For those activities, dedicated performance footwear is recommended.
How do I determine my size for the Samba OG?
The Samba OG typically fits true to size based on standard UK sizing. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to find the most comfortable fit.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The leather upper of the Samba OG is not waterproof. While light drizzle might not cause immediate damage, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can lead to water damage, staining, or a shortened lifespan for the leather. It's best to avoid wearing them in significant wet weather.
What is the T-shaped toe box made of?
The distinctive T-shaped toe box on the Samba OG is typically made of suede or another durable material, providing a subtle textural contrast and reinforcing the front of the shoe, maintaining its iconic look.
How should I clean the white 3-Stripes and magic beige accents?
For the white 3-Stripes and magic beige accents, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently rub the areas, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material or color.
What does 'OG' stand for in Adidas Samba OG?
'OG' stands for 'Original,' indicating that this version stays true to the initial design and specifications of the classic Adidas Samba, honoring its heritage.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth, then apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner with a clean cloth. Buff gently to restore shine.
Creasing on the toe box or vamp
While some creasing is natural with leather, minimize it by using shoe trees when not wearing the shoes. A leather conditioner can also help keep the leather supple.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are clean of debris, dirt, or oil. A build-up can reduce grip. Clean the rubber outsole regularly with a stiff brush and water.
Unpleasant odor from inside the shoe
Remove insoles (if removable) and allow shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. Use an anti-odor spray or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then shake out thoroughly.
Laces fraying or worn out
Replace the laces with new ones of similar length and material. Adidas offers replacement laces, or you can find compatible alternatives.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Samba OG sneakers:
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather protector spray (suitable for smooth leather) before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow the product's instructions.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain grip.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, prevent cracking, and maintain its luster.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
