FAQs

What material are the adidas Samba OG shoes made of?

The primary upper material is premium suede, complemented by synthetic or leather accents and a rubber gum sole.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a dedicated suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for spots. Avoid water and use a protective spray for best results.

Are these suitable for playing football?

The Samba OG is designed as a lifestyle shoe. While historically linked to football, this specific iteration is best suited for casual wear, not athletic performance.

What is the main difference between Samba OG and other Samba models?

The 'OG' designation typically refers to original or classic reissues, often featuring materials and designs closer to the shoe's initial release, such as premium suede and gum soles.

How should I size the Samba OG?

It is recommended to consult the size chart provided by adidas or the retailer. Many users find they fit true to size, but personal preference for tightness can vary.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as it can damage the material and cause staining. Use a water-repellent spray for some protection, but avoid prolonged exposure to rain or puddles.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is typically made of rubber, often featuring a classic gum colorway, which provides durability and traction.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Consider a suede protector spray for future prevention.

Gum sole is scuffed

Minor scuffs can sometimes be removed with a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution. For deeper scuffs, accept them as part of the shoe's character or consult a professional shoe repair service.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the suede and sole to break in and conform to your foot's shape. Wearing them with socks can also help.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be employed. Avoid using water unless absolutely necessary, and if so, use sparingly with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape.
