FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Samba OG generally fits true to size, though the slim profile may feel snug for those with wider feet.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash your Samba OG trainers as the water and agitation will ruin the pony hair and adhesive integrity.
How do I protect the light-colored upper?
Applying a stain and water repellent spray formulated for leather and delicate materials can help keep the Wonder White tones clean.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
While based on an indoor soccer shoe, the Samba OG is currently best utilized as a lifestyle sneaker for casual daily wear rather than intense sports.
Does the pony hair fall out?
Pony hair is a natural material and may experience slight shedding over time with heavy wear, which is expected for this type of material.
Troubleshooting
Pony hair looks matted or uneven
Use a very soft brush to gently groom the hair in its natural direction after every few wears.
Creasing at the toe box
This is normal for leather-based Samba shoes. Use wooden shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape.
Surface marks on the white leather
Use a damp, soft cloth with a mild leather cleaner, avoiding the pony hair sections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the delicate pony hair material, these trainers require a different care approach than standard leather adidas sneakers. Avoid using harsh brushes or heavy chemicals. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt in the direction of the hair grain. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which could damage the adhesives or warp the material. To maintain the crisp Wonder White upper, consider using a sneaker protector spray safe for delicate materials to guard against moisture and stains. Always ensure you are selecting the correct UK size, as the Samba OG is known for a relatively snug, true-to-fit profile.
