FAQs
Are the adidas Samba OG true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. However, because they are a slim, low-profile shoe, those with wider feet may prefer to size up by half a size.
Can I use these for playing football?
While the Samba was originally designed for indoor football, this modern 'OG' iteration is primarily sold as a lifestyle fashion sneaker.
How do I clean the white leather parts?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Avoid machine washing.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The Samba OG features a flat, low-profile sole which provides minimal arch support, making them better suited for casual wear than long-distance walking or sports.
Are the materials used in the Samba OG sustainable?
This model utilizes traditional leather and suede construction consistent with the heritage design of the 1949 original.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the suede toe
Use a suede-specific brush or a clean pencil eraser to gently lift dirt and smooth the suede fibers.
Creasing in the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when storing your trainers to help maintain their shape and minimize deep crease formation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OG trainers maintain their appearance, keep them away from excessive moisture which can damage the suede overlays. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede toe area. For the leather body, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface stains; avoid harsh chemicals or detergents that may alter the white finish or bleed the scarlet red dye. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or the gum sole to warp.
