FAQs
What is the main material of the adidas Samba OG Silver Metallic Cracked Leather?
The upper is primarily made of metallic cracked leather, with white accents on the 3-Stripes, laces, tongue, and heel counter, and a gum rubber outsole.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
These shoes are designed as lifestyle footwear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not intended for rigorous athletic activities.
How should I clean the cracked leather finish?
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which could damage the metallic finish.
What is the original retail price of these shoes?
The original retail price was $120.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the gum sole provides some grip, the cracked leather upper is not waterproof and may be susceptible to damage from excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the sizing like for the Samba OG?
Samba OG models generally fit true to size for most people, but it's always recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible.
How do I maintain the metallic shine?
Regular gentle cleaning with a damp cloth and occasional use of a leather conditioner for metallic finishes can help preserve the shine. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Creasing or cracking on the metallic leather.
Minor creasing is natural with wear. For excessive cracking, ensure proper conditioning and avoid bending the shoe excessively. Store with shoe trees.
Discoloration of the metallic finish.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth. If significant discoloration occurs, it may be permanent.
Gum sole becoming dirty.
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the gum sole. Avoid excessive scrubbing that could damage the rubber.
Shoelaces becoming soiled.
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
