FAQs
Are these Samba OG Trainers suitable for sports?
While the Samba has a football heritage, these specific trainers (OG) are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion rather than high-performance athletic activities. They offer comfort for everyday use.
How do I clean the full-grain leather upper?
For basic cleaning, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt or to condition the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Generally, adidas Samba models tend to run true to size. This specific variant is a UK 3. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape, so consulting an adidas size guide for foot measurements is always recommended.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
The full-grain leather offers some natural water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain and using a protective waterproof spray specifically designed for leather footwear to enhance their water resistance.
What does 'foil embossing' mean?
'Foil embossing' refers to a printing technique where a metallic foil is applied to the leather, often for logos or text, creating a slightly raised, shiny, and premium finish that stands out.
What are the 'violet features' mentioned?
The 'violet features' typically refer to subtle accents on the trainer, such as the branding, heel tab, or stripes, that are rendered in a violet hue, providing a distinct contrast to the cream upper.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a leather conditioner to restore its luster. For scuffs, a leather balm can often help.
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct size (UK 3 for this specific variant). If fit is slightly off, experiment with different lacing techniques. Thinner or thicker socks can also adjust comfort.
Cream color shows dirt easily
Wipe down regularly after use with a soft, damp cloth. Consider using a protective spray designed for leather footwear prior to wearing to create a barrier against stains and dirt.
Soles lack sufficient grip on certain surfaces
The textured rubber sole provides standard traction. While suitable for most urban environments, exercise caution on extremely wet, icy, or very smooth surfaces. The trainers are not designed for extreme grip in adverse conditions.

Care Instructions
To ensure your full-grain leather Samba OG Trainers maintain their appearance and last for years, follow these care steps:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a leather protector spray. This helps repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth.
- Conditioning: Periodically, apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is especially important for the cream-colored leather.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush with mild soap and water to clean the textured rubber sole.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape.
