FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While the Samba has roots in football, this specific 'OG Silver' variant with its cracked metallic leather is primarily designed for casual wear and style. It can handle light activities like kickabouts but is not intended for high-performance sports.
How do I clean the metallic leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid harsh cleaners or excessive scrubbing. Allow to air dry. A leather protector spray suitable for metallic finishes can help maintain its appearance.
Is the 'cracked leather' look supposed to be there?
Yes, the cracked metallic leather is a specific design feature of this edition, refreshing the classic look. Minor cracks are part of its intended aesthetic and contribute to its unique character.
What is the material of the shoe?
The upper is made from cracked metallic leather, with a synthetic lining and a rubber outsole.
Are these shoes durable?
Yes, they feature a reinforced toe and a robust rubber gum sole for durability, designed to withstand daily wear and tear, provided proper care is maintained for the metallic leather.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to preserve the metallic finish and prevent water damage to the leather. If they do get wet, dry them naturally.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Adidas Samba models generally run true to size. This specific variant is UK size 12. If you are typically a UK 12 in adidas, these should fit well. However, individual foot shapes can vary, so always refer to sizing guides if uncertain.
Troubleshooting
Cracked metallic finish appears dull or worn quickly
Ensure you are cleaning gently with a soft, damp cloth and consider using a leather protector spray designed for metallic finishes. Avoid rubbing aggressively and limit exposure to abrasive surfaces.
Shoes feel too tight or loose during wear
Adjust the lace closure to find your optimal fit. Foot swelling can occur throughout the day, so trying them at different times might help. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size 12 for adult footwear.
Sole lacks sufficient grip on certain surfaces
The rubber gum sole offers good general traction for everyday use. Ensure the sole is clean of debris. For very slick or specialized surfaces, adjust your stride as these are casual shoes, not specialized grip footwear.
