FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Samba OG generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up half a size due to the slim silhouette.
Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesive bonding of the sole. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The Samba OG has a narrower profile than many modern athletic shoes; those with wider feet might find the fit snug initially.
What is the primary difference between the Samba OG and modern sneakers?
The Samba OG retains its original vintage geometry, which features less foam cushioning compared to modern performance running shoes.
How do I maintain the white leather?
Regularly wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and use leather-specific cleaning products to prevent dirt from setting into the grain.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, as an evolution of an indoor soccer shoe, the rubber sole is designed to be non-marking for use on gym and indoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks scuffed or dull
Use a high-quality leather conditioner or cream matching the leather type to restore shine and flexibility.
The nubuck toe area is stained
Use a specialized suede/nubuck eraser tool to gently buff out stains; avoid water, which can leave rings on nubuck.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OGs remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For the nubuck toe overlay, use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede or nubuck to gently lift debris.
- Moisture Protection: Applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray can help protect the white finish from unexpected spills or light rain.
- Lacing: The tonal Cloud White laces are best kept clean by hand-washing in mild soap if they become discolored.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the white materials from yellowing over extended periods.
