Product Information
Full details
The adidas Sambae is designed for fashion-forward adults who appreciate the intersection of classic football heritage and contemporary street style. These trainers provide the benefit of a subtle, platform-inspired lift without sacrificing the slim, iconic silhouette of the original Samba, though users should be aware that the elevated sole offers a slightly firmer feel compared to standard flat-soled terrace shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Sambae generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to try them on to ensure the slim silhouette provides enough lateral room.
Can I wear these for sports?
The Sambae is a lifestyle trainer designed for everyday fashion and comfort, not for performance athletics or professional football.
How do I maintain the platform sole's appearance?
Wipe the rubber sides regularly with a damp cloth or a magic eraser to keep them free of debris and maintain their pristine white color.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray designed for leather to provide light resistance against unexpected moisture.
How high is the platform lift?
The platform provides a subtle, modest boost in height that adds a contemporary edge without the instability of a traditional high platform shoe.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the white upper
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a gentle, non-abrasive leather cleaner to buff out surface marks.
Creasing at the forefoot
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not being worn to help maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Sambae trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. As these are primarily leather-based, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for the leather surfaces, avoiding abrasive brushes that could scuff the finish. For the sole, a specialized shoe cleaner or a gentle scrub brush can help maintain the brightness of the platform edges. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking or warping.
