Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the adidas Samba Black White is a unisex model designed to fit adult foot structures.
Can I use these for playing football?
While the design is rooted in football heritage, it is classified as a lifestyle trainer and lacks the modern performance technology found in professional pitch cleats.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the robust, semi-translucent gum rubber sole is non-marking, making it safe for indoor courts and gymnasium surfaces.
How should I clean the white stripes?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a damp cloth with a mild detergent, wiping gently to avoid staining the surrounding black leather.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Most users find that the adidas Samba fits true to size. If you have a wider foot, you may prefer to try a half-size up for extra comfort.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are generally held in place by standard light adhesive; they can be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoe on
Fully loosen the lace-up fastening to allow the tongue to expand before inserting your foot.
Leather showing creases
This is natural with high-quality leather. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape and reduce deep creasing.
Accumulated dirt on the gum sole
Use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the rubber, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba trainers last, start by loosening the laces fully to allow for an easy fit when putting them on for the first time. The leather upper should be treated with a leather-appropriate protective spray to guard against water and dirt. To clean, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose debris, followed by a slightly dampened cloth for the leather surfaces. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives used in the gum sole construction. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard adidas size, as these trainers generally fit true to size for most foot shapes.
