FAQs
What is the primary material of the Samba 62?
The primary material for the upper is premium suede, with contrasting leather accents for the 3-Stripes and other details.
Are these shoes suitable for playing football?
While the Samba has roots in football, the Samba 62 is designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear and is not intended for competitive play.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, being careful not to saturate the material. Always allow to air dry.
What is the benefit of the dual-toned foam midsole?
The dual-toned foam midsole provides cushioning for comfort during daily wear, with a design aesthetic inspired by vintage running shoes.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Suede is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. While they can withstand light, incidental contact with water, prolonged exposure or heavy rain is not recommended. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What does the 'Samba 62' refer to?
The '62' in Samba 62 pays tribute to early versions of the famed adidas football shoe, indicating a design inspired by historical silhouettes.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart provided by the retailer. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the chart, as sizing can vary slightly between models.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Ensure the shoes are dry before brushing.
Laces becoming worn
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. Available at most shoe stores or online retailers.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole offers good grip, but caution is advised on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of mud or debris.
Color transfer from 3-Stripes or heel tab
This is rare but can occur with friction or moisture. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing. If concerned, consider a fabric protector spray designed for leather/synthetic materials.
