FAQs

What is the main difference between the Samba Decon and the original Samba?

The Samba Decon features a 'deconstructed' aesthetic, meaning it has a more minimalist design and often fewer seams or overlays compared to the original, classic Samba silhouette.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean suede. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid water and liquid cleaners on suede.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Samba Decon generally has a standard fit. If you have wider feet, consider trying them on first or looking for reviews specifically addressing width.

What is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of gum rubber, which provides good traction and durability.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the gum rubber outsole offers some grip, the leather and suede upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the materials.

What was the original release date and price?

The adidas Samba Decon White Black Gum was launched on August 25, 2023, with an original retail price of $150.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The 'Samba Decon' model specifically in this deconstructed style might have limited colorways, but the broader Samba line offers many variations in color and material.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.

Leather shows scuffs or light scratches

Clean the area with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the affected area to help blend the mark and restore moisture.

Gum sole is discolored

Try cleaning the sole with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the rubber.

Shoelaces are dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
