FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for this Samba OG collection?
This collection is inspired by archival outfits and iconography from Bob Marley’s life, music, and heritage, developed in collaboration with The Bob Marley Foundation.
What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?
The trainers feature a textile upper, leather lining, leather overlays, and a rubber sole.
How should I clean the leather components of the trainers?
Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, always testing on a small area first.

These trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle use, not for intense athletic activities. They offer comfort and style for everyday wear.
How can I identify this specific model?
This specific model can be identified by its Style Code: KI8571 and its unique multicolour design.
Will the leather stretch over time?
Yes, leather generally molds to the foot and may stretch slightly with wear, providing a more personalized fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage and waterlogging.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper damage, consult a professional cobbler.
Discoloration on multicolor panels
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean each panel with appropriate, mild leather cleaners.
Soles losing grip
Ensure the sole is clean from debris. If wear is significant, consider a professional assessment for sole repair or replacement if possible.
Sizing feels too tight or loose
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Leather may stretch slightly over time with wear. If the fit is significantly off, consider if the size is correct for your foot type.
