FAQs
What material is the adidas Samba OG Trainer made of?
The upper is primarily made of soft leather with classic suede overlays. The outsole is rubber.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Samba OG is designed as a lifestyle and streetwear shoe. While inspired by football, it is not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner might be needed. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Most users find the Samba OG trainers to fit true to size, but some may find them slightly narrow. It's recommended to check sizing charts and consider your foot width.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather and rubber offer some protection, it's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a waterproofing spray, especially on the suede, can offer additional protection.
What is the main difference between Samba OG and other Samba versions?
The 'OG' designation typically refers to models that closely replicate the original designs and materials from the shoe's initial release, emphasizing heritage and classic construction.
How should I store my Samba OG trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try powdering the insole with talcum powder or a small amount of cornstarch. Ensure the laces are not too tight.
Leather appears dry or creased
Apply a quality leather conditioner following the product instructions. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning. Avoid excessive heat.
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner may be necessary, followed by brushing.
