Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structural integrity and minimize deep set-in creases.
Difficulty keeping white leather clean
Wipe the surface with a magic eraser or specialized leather cleaner immediately after exposure to dirt to prevent it from setting into the leather grain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OG trainers maintain their appearance, keep the following care tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the surface and outsole. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may discolor the white finish.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent premature yellowing or material degradation.
- Fit: The Samba OG typically fits true to size. Since these are leather trainers, consider a slightly thicker sock if you find the initial fit is slightly loose, or wear them in gradually to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather to protect the white base from light rain and liquid spills.
