adidas Samba OG - Collegiate Green Gum - Trainers - UK 8.5

While the Samba has historical ties to football, this specific OG model with its gum sole is primarily designed for streetwear and casual wear, not for performance on a football pitch.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to naturally mold to your foot. Avoid excessive bending or forcing the material.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, sole, and internal structure of the shoe.

The 'Collegiate Green Gum' model features a specific colorway and a gum rubber outsole, distinct from other Samba variations that might have different sole materials or color schemes.

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them.

Generally, adidas Samba OG trainers fit true to size for most individuals. However, it's always recommended to check size guides and customer reviews for the most accurate fit.

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner might be required. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.

Ensure the gum sole is clean and free from debris. The gum material can become less grippy when coated in mud or dust. If wear is significant, consider professional assessment.

Replace with a similar material or opt for waxed laces for increased durability. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause premature wear.
