FAQs
Are adidas Originals Samba OG shoes suitable for sports?
While the Samba has roots in football, the current Samba OG iteration is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. It offers comfort and style for everyday use but is not engineered for high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the brown leather on my Samba OG sneakers?
For best results, gently wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The adidas Originals Samba OG generally fits true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. It is recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit.
What does 'OG' stand for in Samba OG?
'OG' stands for 'Original,' indicating that this version of the Samba is a direct reissue or heavily inspired by the initial, classic design of the shoe, preserving its heritage elements.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather uppers offer some protection, but the Samba OG is not waterproof. For prolonged wet weather, it's advisable to use a suitable leather protector spray to help repel water and prevent staining, and always allow them to dry naturally if they get wet.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole of the adidas Originals Samba OG is made from durable rubber, providing reliable traction and long-lasting wear.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot or surgeon's knot. You can also slightly dampen the laces before tying them to increase friction and hold.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a soft, clean cloth to restore its luster. Regular conditioning helps prevent dryness and maintain the leather's health.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. Also, check if the outsole is causing the squeak by testing on different surfaces.

Care
To ensure your leather Samba OG sneakers maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather uppers with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wear to remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its natural sheen. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially in inclement weather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape and prevent creasing.
