FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for sports?
No, while the Samba has a football heritage, this velvet iteration is designed primarily for fashion and casual wear, not athletic performance.
How do I clean the velvet upper?
Gently spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and a very mild soap solution. Brush the nap softly with a dedicated velvet or suede brush after drying to restore its texture. Avoid saturating the material with water.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Velvet is susceptible to water damage and can become matted or stained. If worn in wet conditions, treat them immediately with appropriate cleaning and drying methods, and consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for velvet.
What is the sizing like for the Adidas Samba OG Velvet?
Adidas Samba models generally run true to size, but the velvet material might offer less give than leather. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size or consulting an Adidas size chart. This specific variant is UK 4.
What materials are used in these shoes?
The upper is crafted from velvet fabric, the lining is leather, and the sole is made from a classic gum rubber material.
What is the product code for these sneakers?
The product code is JS1394.
Troubleshooting
Velvet appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the velvet nap with a soft-bristle brush in one direction to restore its texture. For dirt, spot clean with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear
Ensure the laces are not overtightened. The leather lining may offer slight give over time, but velvet has limited stretch. Consider wearing thinner socks or checking your sizing against Adidas's size guide if discomfort persists.
Sole has lost some traction or looks dull
Clean the gum sole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime that can affect grip. A clean sole also maintains the aesthetic.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot. Double knotting can also help. Over time, laces can wear, so consider replacing them if they continue to slip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Upon receiving, ensure laces are threaded correctly and adjust for a comfortable, snug fit.
- First Wear: Wear them indoors initially to confirm fit and comfort. Note that while the leather lining will mold slightly, velvet has less give than traditional leather or synthetic uppers.
Compatibility
- Apparel: Highly versatile with casual wear such as jeans, chinos, shorts, skirts, dresses, and tracksuits. The rich red/maroon colorway pairs well with neutrals, blacks, whites, and even complementary blues or greens.
- Occasions: Ideal for casual events, social gatherings, urban exploration, and everyday fashion. Not suitable for formal events, demanding sports, or heavy outdoor work.
Care Instructions
Velvet requires specific care to maintain its luxurious appearance.
- Cleaning Velvet:
- Spot Clean: For small marks, gently dab with a soft, clean, damp (not wet) cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, then wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove residue.
- Brush Gently: Use a soft-bristle brush (like a suede brush or soft toothbrush) to gently brush the velvet nap in one direction to restore its texture.
- Avoid Water Saturation: Do not soak the shoes. Excess water can damage the velvet and potentially cause color bleeding.
- Air Dry: Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap to clean the gum sole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Apply a specialized velvet protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains. Info needed: [Recommend specific velvet protector brands/types]
