FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The adidas Samba OG Royal Blue Gum is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While comfortable for walking, it is not intended for athletic performance activities like running.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean off dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
What is the main difference between this OG model and the original Samba?
The key difference is the inclusion of an EVA insole for enhanced cushioning and comfort, which was not present in the very original Samba models.
Will the gum sole get dirty easily?
The gum sole can show dirt and scuffs more readily than darker soles. It can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a specialized sole cleaner.
What does 'OG' stand for in Samba OG?
OG typically stands for 'Original' or 'Original Genuine,' indicating that this model is a faithful reissue or closely resembles the original design of the Samba.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as water can damage the material and cause staining. Ensure the shoes are dry before wearing them again.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
As a general guideline for sneakers, if you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for a bit more room, especially if you prefer to wear thicker socks. However, fit can vary per individual.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently brush the affected area, restoring the nap. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Gum sole is scuffed or marked.
Try gently cleaning the sole with a damp cloth. For persistent scuffs, a non-abrasive eraser or a specialized sole cleaner might be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Shoe shape is losing its form.
Use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
Discoloration on the suede.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture, which can cause discoloration. Clean with appropriate suede care products.
