FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing, though it is recommended to check the specific UK size guide before purchase.
Can I use these for playing football?
While they are based on a football silhouette, the luxury material construction is meant for lifestyle wear rather than intensive competitive sports.
How do I protect the light cream colour?
Applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for nylon and synthetic fabrics before first use is recommended.
Are these shoes gender-specific?
While listed for adult men, the Samba silhouette is often considered unisex due to its timeless design.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from nylon, which provides a lightweight feel and a unique textured aesthetic.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is strongly advised against washing these in a machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the delicate nylon fabric and adhesive bonds.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dust on the nylon upper
Gently use a soft-bristled shoe brush or a dry microfiber cloth to whisk away loose particles.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the material retain its original shape.
Loss of traction
Check the gum rubber outsole for debris stuck in the tread and wipe with a damp cloth to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature a nylon upper, they do not require a breaking-in period as long as leather models, but they do require specific care to maintain their finish. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as nylon can absorb liquids and trap dirt more readily than leather surfaces. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and a gentle cloth with mild soapy water for localized spots. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation.
