FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No. The Samba OG is a lifestyle sneaker based on an indoor football design and lacks the cushioning and impact support required for running.
Does the leather stretch?
Yes, like most genuine leather footwear, the material will soften and mold to the unique shape of your foot after several wears.
How do I clean the white stripes?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft-bristle brush to gently scrub the white details without damaging the surrounding black leather.
Are these trainers unisex?
While listed for men, the classic design is highly popular and frequently worn by all genders. Ensure you verify your correct UK size when selecting.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, you can swap out the standard laces with any flat lace of a similar length if you wish to change the look or if the originals become worn.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Using a shoe tree when not wearing them will help maintain the shape and minimize deep lines.
Squeaking sounds while walking
This is often caused by moisture trapped beneath the removable insole. Remove the insole, let it air dry completely, and sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder inside if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OGs stay in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Fitting: The Samba fits true to size, but the leather will naturally stretch slightly over time to mold to your foot. Ensure the lace-up tension is snug but not constricting during your first few wears.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dust. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking and to keep the black dye vibrant.
- Protection: Apply a leather-safe water repellent spray if you live in a climate prone to rain, as this will help protect the finish.
