Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Samba OGs:
- Leather Upper: Gently wipe dirt and scuffs with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Nubuck Toe Cap: Use a nubuck brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized nubuck cleaner. Avoid getting too much water on nubuck.
- Gum Rubber Outsole: Clean the outsole with a mild soap solution and an old toothbrush or soft brush to remove dirt and grime. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild soap if they become dirty.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight) to prevent damage to the leather and glues.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
