FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for all weather conditions?
The suede material is not naturally waterproof. While the durable rubber outsole provides grip, it is recommended to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions unless you have applied a protective suede spray.
How do I clean the white parts of the sole?
For the rubber outsole and EVA midsole, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
Can I put these sneakers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede sneakers. It can damage the material, alter the shape, and degrade the adhesive. Always follow manual cleaning instructions.
What does 'Torsion bar' mean?
The Torsion bar is an Adidas technology designed to allow the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing improved stability and support during movement, enhancing comfort for all-day wear.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Adidas Samba models generally run true to size, but individual fit can vary. It's always best to try them on if possible or consult an Adidas sizing chart. This specific variant is UK 3.
What is the 'St Fade Gold' color?
St Fade Gold is a unique, subtle gold hue featured on the suede upper, part of the distinct colorway developed for this collaboration, offering a sophisticated and slightly muted golden appearance.
How often should I reapply suede protector?
The frequency depends on usage and the specific protector product. Generally, reapply every few months or after cleaning the sneakers to maintain water and stain resistance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush. For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser. Always brush in the direction of the nap.
Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly; they may need breaking in. The EVA midsole and Torsion bar are designed for comfort, but initial wear can feel slightly firm. Wear them for short periods initially.
Discoloration or water stains on suede
If water-stained, allow to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For proactive protection, regularly apply a waterproof suede spray as per product instructions.

Care Instructions for Suede:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This helps repel water and stains. Repeat periodically as per product instructions.
- Cleaning: For light dirt, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove debris. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Stain Removal: For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not use artificial heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as suede needs to breathe.
