Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Getting started with your adidas Samba OG trainers is straightforward:
- Lace Up: Unlace the shoes completely to easily slip your foot in.
- Adjust Fit: Tighten the laces from the bottom up to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit across your foot.
- Tie Securely: Knot the laces securely. The lace closure allows for personalized adjustment to suit your comfort preference.
Compatibility
These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual attire:
- Apparel: Pairs well with denim, cotton trousers, shorts, and casual skirts or dresses.
- Occasions: Suitable for daily wear, urban exploration, social events, and relaxed work settings.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Samba OG trainers. Follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: The outer is 100% suede, and the lining is 100% leather. The sole is 100% rubber.
- Leather: Wipe the leather sections with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, followed by a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
- Suede: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning kit is recommended. Always brush in one direction.
- Outsoles: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap (if needed) to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage leather and suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and suede to offer an extra layer of protection, especially before first wear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
