adidas Originals Samba OG - Blue - UK 4

No, while the Samba has roots in football, the OG model is now primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear. It is not intended for high-performance sports, running, or intensive athletic activities.

Wipe off surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth. Follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Air dry naturally away from heat.

The full grain leather offers some natural resistance, but they are not inherently waterproof. To improve water resistance, we recommend applying a good quality leather protector spray or cream designed for footwear.

'OG' stands for 'Original' or 'Original Gangster,' signifying that the design is a faithful recreation or closely inspired by the original, iconic version of the shoe.

Generally, adidas Samba OG models are considered to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. If unsure, it's always best to consult a size guide or try them on.

These trainers are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. While the leather is durable, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or extreme wetness is not recommended without proper water protection, as it can affect the leather's appearance and longevity.

Full grain leather is the top layer of the hide, retaining all of the natural grain. It is considered the highest quality, most durable, and strongest type of leather, developing a unique patina over time.

Clean the leather thoroughly with a suitable cleaner, then apply a quality leather conditioner to restore its luster and suppleness. Repeat conditioning regularly.

This is common with new leather footwear. Continue wearing them for a few days to allow the full grain leather to break in and mold to your feet. Wearing thicker socks can also help initially.

Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners directly on the foil embossed areas. Clean these sections very gently with a soft, damp cloth only.

While the textured rubber sole provides good grip, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution and consider a water-repellent spray for better wet weather performance.

Allow the trainers to air out after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
