Product Information

Full details

The adidas Samba Vegan in Black Gum (UK 10) is designed for the style-conscious adult who seeks sustainable footwear without compromising on classic aesthetics. Its key benefit is offering the iconic Samba look and feel using entirely vegan materials. A potential caveat is that vegan leather may require different care than traditional leather to maintain its appearance. This sneaker features a unique light upper and a gum rubber sole, updated with vegan components throughout, including adhesives and dyes, while retaining the signature adidas stripes and branding.

FAQs

Are these shoes truly vegan?

Yes, the adidas Samba Vegan is constructed using vegan leather and shuns all animal-based components, including adhesives and dyes.

How do I clean the vegan leather?

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap and water solution can be used with a soft brush or cloth, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Sizing can vary between individuals. It is recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart and, if possible, try them on to ensure the best fit.

What is the main difference between this and a traditional leather Samba?

The primary difference is the material composition; this version uses vegan leather and other plant-based or synthetic components instead of conventional leather and animal-derived adhesives or dyes.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the gum rubber sole offers traction, the vegan leather upper is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the release date of this model?

The adidas Samba Vegan Black Gum model was released on June 16, 2021.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on vegan leather upper

Minor creasing is normal with wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Stuff with paper when not in use to help maintain shape.

Slight color transfer from gum sole

Some transfer from the gum sole onto lighter socks can occur, especially when new or wet. This is typical for gum rubber. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing with light-colored socks.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Difficulty cleaning specific marks

For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution with a soft cloth. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue.

  • Suitable for everyday wear, blending style and comfort.

Cons

  • Vegan leather might not age or develop patina like real leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure you have selected the correct size before use.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male wearers. The UK 10 size is suitable for those who typically wear this size in athletic footwear. The classic design is compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the upper gently with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the vegan leather.
  • Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the material to crack or warp.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
