FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from 'Night Indigo' pony hair fabric.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

No, the Samba OG is designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear and does not offer the specialized support needed for athletic activities.

How should I clean the pony hair?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a slightly damp cloth with mild soap for stains. Always brush in the direction of the hair and allow to air dry.

What does 'low-profile grail' mean?

It refers to a shoe that is highly sought after and iconic within its category, characterized by its sleek, flat design.

What is the primary color?

The primary color is 'Night Indigo' (a dark blue) for the pony hair, with 'Clear Sky' (a light blue) for the 3-Stripes and off-white laces.

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, the Samba OG fits true to size, but it's always recommended to check sizing charts or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

What is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of lightweight rubber, providing grip and durability.

Troubleshooting

Pony hair looks matted or dirty

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft brush in the direction of the grain. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel slightly stiff initially

This is common with leather and pony hair shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Avoid excessive bending or creasing.

Color transfer from the 3-Stripes

Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing them with light-colored socks or trousers. Protect the shoes from excessive moisture.
