FAQs
What material are the adidas Originals Samba OG trainers made of?
The trainers feature a premium leather upper with suede overlays and a rubber gum sole. They also include textile elements for the iconic 3-stripes and Tartan-inspired graphic details.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Samba OG are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for everyday wear and casual activities. While durable and suitable for light play, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or professional athletic performance.
How should I clean the leather and suede parts?
For leather, use a damp cloth and mild cleaner. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner, being careful to avoid excessive moisture on both materials.
Do the Samba OG trainers run true to size?
The Samba OG generally offer a regular fit. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult the size guide and consider trying them on if possible.
What is the 'COLD CEMENT' construction mentioned?
Cold cement construction refers to the method used to attach the sole to the upper. It is a durable process that ensures a strong bond between the sole and the shoe's body.
What makes the 'Tartan twist' unique?
The Tartan-inspired graphic details are subtle design elements integrated into the trainers, offering a unique, archival-inspired aesthetic that sets them apart from more minimalist versions.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it's not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, and ensure the shoes are properly dried and cared for afterward if they do get wet.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and ensure proper fit. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
Suede appearing matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum sole discolored
Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent discoloration, consider a specialized sole cleaner, but test first. Natural aging can also affect gum color.
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. If the issue persists, consider the specific fit characteristics of leather shoes which can mold to the foot over time. Refer to sizing charts for accurate measurements.

Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the leather and suede. For stubborn stains on the leather, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Suede Care: For the suede overlays, a dedicated suede brush can be used to restore texture and remove dry dirt. Protect suede from excessive moisture.
- Sole Maintenance: The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. Be aware that the gum material can be more prone to picking up dirt.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain their shape and condition. Allow them to air out after wear to prevent odor buildup.
