FAQs
Are the adidas Samba OG trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Samba OG typically has a regular fit. While the leather will mold to your foot over time, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug initially. Consider trying them on if possible or looking at reviews that specifically address width.
Can I wear these for playing football?
While the Samba has roots in football training, this 'OG' lifestyle version is not designed for playing on firm or artificial ground. The outsole and materials are optimized for casual wear and grip on urban surfaces, not for the demands of modern football play.
How do I clean the brown three stripes and heel tab?
These are typically made of synthetic leather or a similar material. Wipe them gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the color or material.
What is the difference between Samba and Samba OG?
The 'OG' designation often refers to original or classic reissues of a model. In the case of the Samba, the OG versions aim to closely replicate the designs and materials of the early iconic models.
How should I store my Samba OG trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
Is the 'Cardboard Gum' colourway the same as this white/brown version?
The description mentions a 'Cardboard Gum' colourway, which likely refers to the specific shade of the gum outsole and possibly other components. The described shoe features a white upper with brown accents and a gum outsole, aligning with variations of the Samba OG's classic look.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
The leather upper will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. If still uncomfortable, consider if a half-size larger might be more suitable.
Gum sole scuffs easily.
This is a characteristic of gum rubber outsoles. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a clean cloth. For heavy scuffing, embrace the natural wear and tear as part of the shoe's character, or consider specialized rubber cleaners.
White leather appears dirty.
Clean regularly with a damp cloth or a dedicated leather cleaner. For the suede areas, use a suede brush. Address stains promptly to prevent them from setting.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. The suede T-toe overlay can be cleaned with a suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore its texture. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the leather and alter the shoe's shape.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and suede to help protect them from the elements. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
