Full details
These adidas Originals Samba 62 Super trainers are designed for adults seeking retro-inspired style and daily comfort. They offer a streamlined silhouette and a low profile, featuring a soft leather upper on a lightly cushioned sole with a grippy gum rubber outsole for reliable traction.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and daily comfort. While they offer good grip and cushioning for everyday activities, they may not provide the specialized support or performance features required for intense athletic activities like running or professional sports.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of soft leather, providing a comfortable and premium feel.
How should I clean the gum rubber sole?
You can clean the gum rubber sole using a damp cloth or a soft brush. Mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner can be used for tougher dirt, but avoid harsh or abrasive chemicals.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the gum rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a leather protector spray can help offer some water resistance.
What is the main difference between Samba 62 and Samba 62 Super?
The 'Super' iteration often denotes a slightly more modern or refined take, potentially with subtle updates to cushioning or silhouette while retaining the core Samba DNA. This specific 'Super' model highlights a streamlined silhouette and light cushioning for daily comfort.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This particular guide focuses on the Grey/Blue colorway with green 3-Stripes. Other color variations of the Samba 62 and Samba 62 Super series may be available, featuring different accent colors.
What size is UK 8 in other measurements?
Sizing can vary slightly between brands. A UK 8 typically corresponds to a US Men's 8.5, US Women's 9.5, and a European size of approximately 42.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when storing.
Gum sole appears dirty or scuffed
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated sneaker cleaner. For persistent scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes work, but test on a small area first.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. If new, the leather may need a short break-in period. Consider using cushioned insoles if additional support is needed.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar style and length. Original replacement laces can often be sourced from the brand or specialized footwear accessory stores.
