FAQs

What makes the Kader Sylla version special?

This version is a collaboration with skateboarder Kader Sylla, featuring personal details like his name on the shoe and stitching inspired by the Ivory Coast flag, honoring his heritage.

Are these shoes good for actual skateboarding?

Yes, the Samba ADV model is specifically designed for skateboarding with durable materials, a reinforced toe cap, and a grippy gum rubber outsole for board feel and control.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of black brushed leather, with dark brown suede overlays on the toe cap and heel.

How do I clean the brown gum sole?

Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.

What is the significance of the stitching on the heel?

The orange, white, and green stitching on the heel seam represents the colors of the Ivory Coast flag, a tribute to Kader Sylla's family roots.

Do these shoes run true to size?

While generally true to size for many, it's recommended to check user reviews or consult size charts, as fit can vary, especially for performance footwear like skate shoes.

What is the main color of the shoe?

The primary color of the shoe is brown, with black leather accents and a brown gum rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or stiff.

Wear the shoes with thin socks around the house to break them in gradually. You can also try gently flexing the shoes by hand. Avoid excessive force.

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products and follow their instructions carefully.

Gum sole is losing grip.

Clean the gum rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or residue that might be affecting traction.

Stitching is coming loose.

If minor, a professional shoe repair service can re-stitch the area. For significant damage, contact customer support or the retailer for potential warranty claims.
