FAQs

Are the adidas Samba OG trainers suitable for running?

No, the Samba OG are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for intense athletic activities like running.

How do I clean the pony hair upper?

Use a soft brush to gently remove dust. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth or a specialized pony hair cleaner, always testing on a small, hidden area first and avoiding saturation.

What is the main difference between Samba OG and other Samba models?

The Samba OG often refers to models that closely stick to the original design specifications, including materials and silhouette. Specific variants, like this one, may feature unique uppers such as pony hair.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear the Samba OG trainers with pony hair uppers in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material and lead to discoloration or matting. Using a protective spray can offer some resistance.

What kind of socks are best to wear with Samba OG trainers?

Samba OG trainers can be worn with various types of socks, from no-show socks for a cleaner look to athletic or casual socks depending on your outfit and comfort preference.

How does the sizing run for the Samba OG?

The Samba OG generally runs true to size for most people. However, if you have wider feet, you might consider trying them on or opting for a half-size up for extra comfort.

What does 'OG' stand for in Samba OG?

'OG' typically stands for 'Original', indicating that the shoe is a reissue or version that closely resembles the original design and specifications of the classic Samba model.

Troubleshooting

Pony hair becoming matted or dirty

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap. For tougher dirt, use a specialized pony hair cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water.

Soles showing wear

The gum rubber sole is designed for durability but will naturally wear with extensive use. For minor scuffs, a rubber cleaner can be used. Significant wear may require professional resoling if available.

Color transfer from 'Better Scarlet' accents

This is rare but can occur if the accents become excessively wet. Ensure the trainers are kept dry. If slight transfer occurs, try gentle spot cleaning with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
