Product Information

Full details

The adidas Samba Vegan trainers in White/Gum for Men (UK 13) are designed for adults who value sustainable fashion without compromising on classic style. Their key benefit is offering the iconic Samba look with vegan materials, though users should be aware that the 'leather' material is a synthetic alternative and may have a different feel than traditional leather. These trainers feature a synthetic upper, a rubber outsole, and a design that stays true to the original Samba's indoor soccer heritage, with 20% of the upper constructed from recycled content.

FAQs

Are these trainers truly vegan?

Yes, the adidas Samba Vegan trainers are made entirely from non-animal derived materials, making them a vegan-friendly footwear option.

How do the vegan materials compare to traditional leather?

The synthetic materials used aim to replicate the look and feel of leather. While durable, they may differ in breathability and break-in period compared to genuine leather.

Can I wear these for playing sports?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While inspired by soccer shoes, they are not intended for rigorous athletic performance and may lack the specialized support and durability for intense sports.

How should I clean the synthetic upper?

Gently wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a mild soap solution sparingly and clean with a damp cloth. Always allow to air dry naturally.

What does the 'Gum' in the colourway refer to?

The 'Gum' refers to the colour of the rubber outsole, which is a classic feature of many Samba models, providing a distinct look and reliable grip.

What is the benefit of the recycled content in the upper?

Incorporating recycled content into the upper reduces the reliance on virgin materials, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process and reducing environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Synthetic upper appears creased or misshapen.

Ensure shoes are stored properly when not in use. Try stuffing them with paper to help maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat.

Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks.

Use a specialized cleaner designed for synthetic leather or vegan materials. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Outsole grip feels reduced.

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. Check for significant wear and tear on the tread pattern, which may indicate the need for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The adidas Samba Vegan trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are suitable for everyday wear and various social settings.

Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Samba Vegan trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the synthetic upper, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Suede/Nubuck Accents: If your model has suede or nubuck details, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain texture. Protect these areas with a suitable suede protector spray.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
