FAQs
What is the main difference between this Samba OG and traditional leather versions?
The main difference is the upper material. This 'Focus Olive Gum' version uses a nylon fabric for the main upper, toebox overlays, and eyelets, offering a lighter feel and modern aesthetic, while retaining classic leather accents.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday use. While the gum rubber outsole offers good traction, they are not specialized for high-impact sports.
How do I maintain the gum rubber outsole?
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid soaking the shoes. If the sole feels sticky, wipe it with a dry cloth first, then a slightly damp one.
Do the reflective accents provide significant visibility?
Yes, the reflective accents are designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions, making them a useful feature for evening wear or early morning activities.
What does 'Focus Olive Gum' refer to?
'Focus Olive' refers to the specific shade of green used on the nylon upper and leather liner. 'Gum' refers to the color and material of the rubber outsole.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the trainers.
What is the release date and original price?
The adidas Samba OG Focus Olive Gum was released on December 1, 2023, and originally sold for $100.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. The nylon and leather materials may offer some stretch over time with wear.
Discoloration on nylon upper
Ensure cleaning is done with mild soap and water. Avoid colored cleaning agents or harsh chemicals that could stain the nylon.
Gum sole appears sticky
This can happen in very warm conditions. Wipe the sole with a dry cloth. If residue persists, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to dry fully.
Reflective accents losing reflectivity
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Gently wipe the reflective areas with a soft, damp cloth. Excessive scrubbing can damage the reflective coating.
