FAQs
What materials are the Adidas Samba OG 'Preloved Ruby' made from?
These sneakers feature a classic leather upper, complemented by suede overlays, and are built on a durable rubber sole for traction and longevity.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
While the Samba OG has football roots, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It offers comfort for everyday wear but is not optimized for high-performance sports or intensive athletic training.
How do I determine the correct size?
The Adidas Samba OG generally runs true to size for most individuals. However, for the best fit, it's always recommended to consult the official Adidas size chart or try them on if possible, as individual foot shapes can vary.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
The leather and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. Applying a water-resistant protective spray designed for leather and suede can offer some protection.
What does 'OG' stand for in Adidas Samba OG?
'OG' stands for 'Original' or 'Original Gangster', signifying that this version of the Samba sneaker is a reissue or homage to its initial, classic design from the 1950s, preserving its authentic aesthetic and features.
How often should I clean my Samba OGs?
The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions you expose them to. For optimal maintenance, a light cleaning after every few wears and a deeper clean monthly or as needed will help preserve their appearance.
Troubleshooting
Stains on suede or leather
For suede, use a suede brush and eraser for dry stains. For deeper stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied sparingly. For leather, use a damp cloth for fresh marks, or a dedicated leather cleaner for set-in stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Unpleasant odor from inside the shoes
Remove insoles if possible and air out shoes in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Replace insoles regularly if they become a persistent source of odor.
Shoes losing their original shape
Insert shoe trees (preferably cedar wood, which also absorbs moisture) when the shoes are not being worn. Alternatively, stuff the shoes with crumpled acid-free paper or newspaper to help them retain their form while drying or storing.
Sole appears dirty or discolored
Clean the rubber sole with a mild soap and water solution and a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush). For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be effective. Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and air dry.
Leather becoming stiff or dry
Regularly apply a good quality leather conditioner or moisturizer specifically designed for footwear. This helps keep the leather supple, prevents cracking, and maintains its appearance. Apply in small amounts and buff with a soft cloth.

Care Instructions
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather and suede before first wear. This can help repel water and prevent stains.
- Regular Cleaning: For light dirt, gently brush suede areas with a soft suede brush to remove loose particles. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to clean and moisturize the leather. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth and gently wipe the surface. Buff with a clean, dry cloth.
- Deep Cleaning (Suede): For tougher stains on suede, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner. Work in one direction with a suede brush after cleaning to restore the nap.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a mild soap and water solution with a brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean the rubber sole. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the leather and suede. Stuffing them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
