FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from genuine leather with a distinctive croc print.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

While inspired by sport heritage, the Samba OG is best suited for casual wear and light activities. The rubber outsole provides grip, but they are not designed for high-impact athletic performance.

How should I clean the animal print leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the surface. For more stubborn dirt, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

The Adidas Samba OG is available in various colorways and material combinations. This specific model features 'Core Black' with 'Off White' accents and an animal print.

What is the fit like?

The Samba OG typically has a regular fit with a low-profile silhouette. Traditional lacing allows for adjustment. It is recommended to consult a size guide or try them on for the best fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the material and maintain their condition.

What does 'OG' stand for in Samba OG?

'OG' typically stands for 'Original', indicating that this model is a faithful or updated reissue of the classic Samba design.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. Wear the shoes around the house for a short period to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing thicker socks or applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe near the tongue area. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.

Tread wear on outsole

Normal wear and tear is expected with regular use. If excessive wear occurs rapidly, check for any inconsistencies in gait or surface abrasions. Rotate use with other footwear if possible.

Color transfer from 3-Stripes or print

In rare cases, the color on the 3-Stripes or the print might transfer, especially when wet. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing and avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These shoes require no specific setup. Upon receiving them, ensure they fit comfortably. Lace them up to your preferred tightness using the traditional lacing system.

Compatibility:

The Adidas Samba OG is a versatile footwear choice compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair well with denim, chinos, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and dust from the leather and rubber. For tougher stains on the leather, a specialized leather cleaner may be used, following product instructions carefully. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to help guard against water and stains, especially given the textured print.
