Care Instructions
Proper care will significantly extend the life and maintain the pristine appearance of your Adidas Samba OG Trainers:
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather protector spray before the first wear, especially one suitable for both leather and suede, to repel water and stains.
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Gently wipe the cream leather upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap (e.g., saddle soap or a dedicated leather cleaner).
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the leather.
- After cleaning, wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue, then dry with a soft, dry cloth.
- Caring for the Suede T-Toe:
- Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction.
- For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
- Avoid getting suede excessively wet, as it can be difficult to dry without leaving water marks.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole:
- Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush with soap and water to scrub away dirt and grime from the textured rubber sole.
- A magic eraser can also be effective for scuff marks on the white rubber foxing.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can crack or warp materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never put your leather and suede trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can cause irreversible damage.
