FAQs
Are the Samba OG trainers suitable for sports?
The Samba OG trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-performance athletic activities. They offer good comfort and traction for everyday use.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of leather cleaner to a cloth and gently wipe the surface, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
Will the gum sole leave marks on floors?
Gum soles can sometimes leave marks, especially on certain types of flooring or if the sole is dirty. It is advisable to clean the soles regularly and be mindful of the surfaces you walk on.
What is the primary material used in these trainers?
The primary material for the upper of these Samba OG trainers is leather.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather can offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may soak the material and affect its longevity. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it with the adidas sizing guide available online. Trying them on in-store or at home on a clean surface is the best way to confirm a comfortable fit.
What is the main characteristic of the Samba OG's sole?
The Samba OG features a distinctive gum rubber sole, known for its excellent grip and classic aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears creased or scuffed
Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a product specifically designed to buff out scuffs on leather footwear.
Gum sole is discolored
Try cleaning the sole with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush. For stubborn discoloration, a specialized sole cleaner might be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or width if available, or consult the retailer's return policy.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. Most sporting goods stores offer a variety of replacement laces.

- Cleaning the Gum Sole: A soft brush or damp cloth can be used to clean the gum sole. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or fade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
