FAQs
Are the adidas Samba OG Collegiate Green trainers suitable for running?
While they feature updated cushioning, the Samba OG is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. They are not recommended for serious running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I choose the correct size?
It is recommended to consult the specific size chart provided by the retailer or Adidas. Trying them on in person is the best way to ensure a proper fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models and individuals.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, midsole, and overall construction of the shoe.
How do I maintain the leather upper?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for leather footwear. Allow to air dry naturally.
What is the main difference between this and older Samba models?
The key difference lies in the updated midsole, which offers enhanced cushioning for improved comfort during extended wear, compared to the more minimalist sole of original Samba versions.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but the trainers are not fully waterproof. They should be protected from heavy rain and puddles.
What does 'Collegiate Green' refer to?
Collegiate Green is the specific colorway name given by Adidas to this particular shade of green used on the trainers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks, or consider using a shoe stretcher for a few days. Leather will also naturally mold to your foot over time.
Leather scuffing or creasing
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or leather conditioner. Significant creasing is a natural part of leather wear; shoe trees can help minimize this when not in use.
Traction feels reduced
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For worn-down tread, consider professional resoling if available or replacement.
Discoloration of the green upper
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Use leather protectors designed for colored leather if concerned about fading.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are suitable for a wide range of casual activities. They are compatible with most casual attire.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow its instructions.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Laces: Clean or replace laces as needed. Laces can typically be hand-washed.
- Suede/Nubuck: If your Samba has suede or nubuck accents, use a suede brush to maintain their texture and remove superficial dirt.
