FAQs
What is the primary material of the adidas Samba OG White Burgundy Gum?
The primary material is soft leather for the upper, with a suede toe cap and burgundy leather accents.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While built with durable materials and offering good support, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for intense athletic training.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner may be necessary. Avoid getting the suede wet.
What does 'OG' stand for in Samba OG?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original'. In this context, it signifies that the Samba OG maintains the classic design and construction of the original Samba shoe.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear leather and suede shoes in heavy rain, as moisture can damage the materials. Consider waterproofing treatments for light protection.

The gum rubber outsole is a signature feature of the Samba, providing excellent grip, durability, and a classic aesthetic.
Where is the 'Samba' branding located on the shoe?
The word 'Samba' is featured in gold lettering on the lateral side of the shoe, next to the three stripes.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Leather creases excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid over-stuffing the shoes when storing. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape.
Gum sole leaving marks
This is a characteristic of gum rubber. If marks appear on indoor floors, clean them gently with a non-abrasive cleaner. For best results, avoid wearing them on sensitive surfaces for extended periods.
Difficulty lacing shoes evenly
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before putting on the shoe. Lace them evenly from bottom to top, adjusting tension as you go for a snug but comfortable fit.
