FAQs
What is the primary material of the Samba OG?
The primary material for the upper is leather, with suede overlays and textile elements for the 3-stripes.
Are these shoes suitable for playing football?
While inspired by football heritage, the Samba OG is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and everyday activities, not for competitive play.
How do I clean the gum sole?
You can clean the gum sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a soft brush or a specialized sole cleaner can be used with care.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The Samba OG model is released in various colorways over time. This guide focuses on the Cloud White/Core Black/Gum variant.
What does 'COLD CEMENT' construction mean?
Cold cement construction refers to the method used to attach the sole to the upper, typically involving adhesives applied at lower temperatures, contributing to flexibility.
How should I care for the leather and suede parts?
Use a damp cloth for leather and a suede brush for suede. Avoid water saturation for both materials. Dedicated leather and suede cleaners are recommended for deeper cleaning.
What is the fit like?
The Samba OG generally has a regular fit. It's recommended to check sizing charts and potentially try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear with appropriate socks. Initially, wear them for short periods to break them in. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness is persistent.
Gum sole is scuffed or marked.
Try cleaning gently with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a non-abrasive eraser or a specialized sole cleaner can be used cautiously. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Leather creasing excessively.
Creasing is natural with leather. Using shoe trees when not in use can help minimize deep creases. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can exacerbate creasing.
Suede overlays appear dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove light dirt. For stains, consult specific suede cleaning products and follow instructions carefully.
