FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing football?
While the Samba OG has its roots in indoor football, the current iterations are primarily designed and recommended for lifestyle and casual wear. They are not built for the demands of modern competitive football.
How do I clean the brown leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of leather cleaner to a cloth and gently rub the affected areas. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous spot first.
What is the best way to care for the gum sole?
Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt. For stubborn marks, a specialized rubber cleaner can be used carefully.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the adidas Samba series is available in a variety of colors, including green and other shades. This specific guide is for the brown variant.
How does the UK 12.5 size fit?
The UK 12.5 size is designed for adult male feet. As with any footwear, fit can vary slightly, but the Samba OG typically offers a standard fit. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, these trainers are designed to be worn with socks for comfort and hygiene. Most types of casual socks will pair well with them.
What is the material of the shoe?
The upper of these adidas Samba OG Trainers is made from leather, and they feature a rubber gum sole.
Troubleshooting
Leather creases or scuffs easily.
This is natural for leather. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a leather conditioner or polish. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
Gum sole appears dirty or marked.
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the sole. For persistent marks, a specialized rubber cleaner can be effective. Be gentle to avoid damaging the rubber.
Fit feels slightly snug initially.
Leather trainers often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, and they should mold to your foot for a more comfortable fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The adidas Samba OG Trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size (this guide focuses on UK 12.5). Compatibility is high, as they pair well with a wide range of casual attire including jeans, shorts, chinos, and joggers.
Care: To maintain the leather upper and gum sole:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains on the leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the leather components.
- Soles: The rubber gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Stubborn marks might be removed with a rubber cleaner.
