FAQs
What is the primary material of the Samba OG Collegiate Green Gum?
The primary material for the upper is suede, with leather detailing on the heel tab and 3-Stripes.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
The Samba OG is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While it offers a responsive feel for light activities, it lacks the specialized cushioning and support required for serious running.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaner on a small, hidden area first and avoid excessive moisture.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of gum rubber, which provides traction and durability.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is generally not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as they can stain and be damaged. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, but caution is advised.
What does 'OG' stand for in Samba OG?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original', indicating that this model is a faithful reproduction or close iteration of the original Samba design.
What kind of support does the insole offer?
The shoe features a cushy insole designed to provide general support and comfort for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained
Gently brush with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum sole is scuffed or dirty
Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a specialized sole cleaner can be used cautiously.
Shoe shape is lost
Use shoe trees when not in use to maintain the original shape. Stuffing with paper can also help temporarily.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its texture. Applying a suede protector beforehand can prevent this.
