FAQs
Are the adidas Originals Samba 62 trainers true to size?
Based on typical sizing for adidas trainers, they are generally considered true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It is recommended to consult the size chart and consider trying them on if possible.
What is the main difference between Samba 62 and the original Samba?
The Samba 62 is an all-new design that reflects on the Samba's archival evolution. Notable differences include the wedged foam midsole for improved comfort, a leather lining, and a leather pull tab, differentiating it from the OG Samba's construction.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The materials (suede, nubuck, leather) are not inherently waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may damage the materials. Consider using a suede protector spray for added water resistance.
How should I clean the 'Preloved Yellow' leather 3-Stripes?
Wipe the leather 3-Stripes gently with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
Are these suitable for running or athletic training?
The Samba 62 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer. While comfortable for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact activities like running or intense athletic training.
What does 'Brown Strata' and 'Preloved Yellow' refer to?
'Brown Strata' describes the specific shade and finish of the nubuck material used for the upper, giving it a rich, textured brown appearance. 'Preloved Yellow' refers to the muted, vintage-inspired yellow hue of the leather 3-Stripes and other accents.
How do I care for the suede and nubuck material?
Regularly brush suede and nubuck with a suede brush to remove dust and maintain texture. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid water saturation.
Troubleshooting
Suede/nubuck appearing dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a suede cleaner following product instructions.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace laces with new ones. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water, then air dry.
Slight odor inside the shoe
Remove insoles and air dry the shoes completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake out.
Tread wear on the rubber sole
Normal wear and tear. For significant wear affecting grip, consider replacement or professional resoling if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no initial setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: The Samba 62 is designed as a unisex trainer, suitable for adult wear. It pairs well with casual attire. While a versatile shoe, it is not intended for professional athletic performance.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Samba 62 trainers:
- Cleaning Suede/Nubuck: Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth or a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Avoid soaking the material.
- Cleaning Leather Accents: Wipe leather 3-Stripes and pull tabs with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild leather cleaner can be applied sparingly.
- Midsoles and Soles: Clean foam midsoles and rubber outsoles with a damp cloth. Ensure all dirt and debris are removed from the rubber cut-outs.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources if they become wet. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect from dust and damage.
