FAQs
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper features a sleek metallic synthetic material combined with genuine leather details and faux croc accents.
Are these sneakers suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, thanks to the cushioned EVA midsole and Torsion bar, these sneakers are designed to provide all-day comfort and support.
How do I clean the metallic surface?
Gently wipe the metallic surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a very mild soap solution can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubs. Air dry completely.
What does the 'Torsion bar' do?
The Torsion bar system is an Adidas technology embedded in the sole that provides stability and support to the midfoot, allowing the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently for enhanced control.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, Adidas Samba models, including this collaboration, tend to fit true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual sneaker size.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
While the synthetic upper offers some resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the metallic finish and overall material integrity.
Troubleshooting
Metallic finish appears dull or scuffed
Gently clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a very mild soap solution. For minor scuffs, specialized leather/synthetic metallic polish (ensure it's safe for synthetic materials) can sometimes help. Applying a protective spray after cleaning can also help prevent future dulling.
Sneakers feel uncomfortable or too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your feet. Check if the laces are tied too tightly; try adjusting them. Consider using thinner socks if they feel snug.
Squeaking sound while walking
Often, squeaking comes from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Remove the insole, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replace the insole. If the squeak persists, check if the outsole is separating, though this is rare in new shoes.
Stains on the leather details
For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn stains on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for the type of leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your metallic Samba sneakers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic metallic upper and leather details, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which can damage the metallic finish. For faux croc accents, use a soft brush to remove dust.
- Drying: Always allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can cause the materials to warp or the metallic finish to dull.
- Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately with mild soap and water.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and scuffs.
- Protection: Consider using a protective spray specifically designed for synthetic leather or metallic finishes. Always test the spray on an inconspicuous area first.
