FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of this specific Adidas x Wales Bonner MN Samba sneaker is crafted from premium leather.

How do I clean the gold leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe off dirt. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner suitable for metallic finishes, applied with a soft cloth. Always air dry and avoid harsh chemicals or brushes.

Are these sneakers true to size?

Adidas Samba sneakers typically run true to size, but fit can vary slightly. We recommend trying them on or consulting a sizing chart if you are unsure. This specific model is UK 5.

Can I wear these for sports or running?

No, these sneakers are designed for casual wear and fashion purposes, not for athletic activities like running or intense sports. Their construction and materials are optimized for style and everyday comfort.

What is a 'Torsion bar' and what does it do?

The Torsion bar is a lightweight arch support system embedded in the sole that allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing better stability and support during movement.

What is the significance of the Wales Bonner collaboration?

The collaboration with designer Wales Bonner infuses the iconic Samba silhouette with elements of Afro-Atlantic heritage and contemporary European luxury, resulting in a unique and culturally rich design.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather.

For light scuffs, gently rub with a clean, soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather repair balm or specialized gold leather restorer might be needed. Consult a shoe care professional if unsure.

Gold finish appears dull or loses shine.

Wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust and oils. If needed, use a leather conditioner specifically formulated for metallic finishes, applying it sparingly with a soft cloth.

Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable.

Leather can take time to break in. Wear the shoes for short periods initially. A quality leather conditioner can help soften the material. Ensure the sizing is correct.

Shoes develop an odor.

Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb odors. Ensure socks are worn to minimize moisture.

Difficulty in finding the right outfit match for the gold color.

Pair them with neutral colors like black, white, grey, or navy to let the gold sneakers be the focal point. Alternatively, incorporate other gold or metallic accessories in your outfit for a cohesive look.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the pristine condition of your gold leather Samba sneakers.

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the leather surface. For tougher stains, use a leather-specific cleaner. Apply the cleaner to a soft cloth, not directly to the shoe, and gently rub in small circular motions. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Protecting the Gold Finish: The metallic gold finish requires delicate handling. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh brushes. A soft microfibre cloth is ideal for polishing and maintaining its sheen. Consider using a leather protector spray designed for metallic finishes to guard against water and stains.
  3. Laces: Remove laces before cleaning the shoe. Wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water, then air dry.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the leather and finish.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, to protect them from dust and light. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Immersion: Do not submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather, adhesives, and the metallic coating.
