Featuring an all-black leather upper with sophisticated suede overlays and the signature gum sole, these trainers offer a lightweight, timeless aesthetic suitable for a variety of outfits.

Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight or constricting
The Samba Jane runs small; if the shoe has not been worn extensively, consider exchanging for a half-size larger than your standard size.
Visible dirt on the suede overlays
Use a soft-bristled suede brush and gently work in one direction to lift dirt; do not use heavy water or chemical cleaners on suede.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the adidas Samba Jane features a blend of leather and suede, maintaining their pristine appearance is essential.
- Sizing: As this model runs small, we suggest ordering half a size larger than your standard measurement.
- Leather Care: Wipe the leather sections with a clean, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Suede Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt from the overlays, and avoid getting the suede wet, as this can affect the texture.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or the color from fading.
