FAQs
Are these Adidas Samba OG shoes suitable for running or sports?
While the Adidas Samba has a rich sporting heritage, the current OG models are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. We do not recommend them for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
How do I prevent the white leather from yellowing?
Regular cleaning and proper storage away from direct sunlight can help prevent yellowing. Using a quality leather protector can also offer some defense against environmental factors.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The leather upper is not inherently waterproof. While light rain is generally fine, we recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to protect the leather and nubuck materials. A protective spray can add a layer of resistance.
What is the best way to clean the gum sole?
The gum rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. A soft brush can help with textured areas. Ensure you rinse off any soap residue thoroughly.
Is the sizing true to size for UK 9?
Adidas Samba models generally run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.
What is nubuck and how is it different from regular leather?
Nubuck is a top-grain leather that has been buffed or sanded on the outer surface to give it a slight nap of short protein fibers, producing a velvet-like surface. It is similar to suede but is made from the outer hide, making it generally more durable. It requires specific care with a brush and specialized cleaners.
Troubleshooting
White leather upper appears dirty or scuffed.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of specialized white leather cleaner. For scuffs, a white leather conditioner can help diminish their appearance.
Nubuck toe cap looks matted or discolored.
Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently restore the texture and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, a nubuck eraser or cleaner can be applied carefully.
Gum rubber outsole is losing its grip or looks dull.
Clean the outsole regularly with a damp cloth and mild dish soap to remove accumulated dirt and grime, which can affect traction and appearance.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The full leather upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Laces appear dirty or worn.
Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap or replaced with new ones if heavily soiled or damaged.

Care Instructions
To keep your Adidas Samba OG looking its best and prolong its lifespan, follow these care guidelines:
- General Cleaning: For the leather upper, gently wipe down with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather, applied sparingly.
- Nubuck Toe Cap Care: Use a dedicated nubuck brush to gently remove dirt and restore the texture. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the material.
- Gum Outsole: Clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray for the upper and a nubuck protector spray for the toe cap to guard against water and stains.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
- Storage: Store your Sambas in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
