Product Information
Full details
The adidas Samba OG in Focus Olive Gum is designed for adults seeking a stylish and versatile trainer that bridges classic heritage with modern materials. Its primary benefit is the blend of iconic design with updated comfort and durability from the nylon upper. A potential caveat is that while offering a modern twist, the nylon upper may appeal less to purists seeking the original leather construction. Key features include a durable nylon upper, premium leather accents, a gum rubber outsole for traction, and reflective details for enhanced visibility.

FAQs
Are the adidas Samba OG trainers waterproof?
No, the nylon upper and leather accents are not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for wet conditions.
What is the main difference between this and a full leather Samba?
The primary difference is the upper material. This 'Focus Olive Gum' version uses nylon for a lighter, more breathable feel and a modern aesthetic, while traditional Sambas are typically all leather.
How do I best care for the gum rubber outsole?
Wipe with a damp cloth after wear to remove dirt. For scuffs, a pencil eraser or magic eraser can be effective. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can these trainers be worn for running or intense sports?
While inspired by athletic heritage, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for intense sports or running.
Do the reflective details work in all lighting conditions?
The reflective details are designed to enhance visibility when light hits them, particularly in low-light or nighttime conditions. They do not generate their own light.
What does 'Focus Olive Gum' refer to?
'Focus Olive' refers to the specific shade of green used for the upper and liner, while 'Gum' refers to the color of the rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels inaccurate.
Consult the adidas sizing chart and consider reviews from other users regarding fit. Some find Sambas run slightly narrow.
Scuff marks on the gum sole.
Use a clean pencil eraser or a magic eraser on the affected areas. For deeper scuffs, consider a dedicated sole cleaner.
Nylon upper feels stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in. The nylon will naturally soften with use.
Reflective details appear faded.
Ensure the reflective areas are clean. Dirt or residue can diminish their reflectivity. Clean gently with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are designed for compatibility with casual outfits, fitting well with a range of styles from streetwear to athleisure.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the nylon upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning Leather Accents: Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather to maintain the 3-Stripes and heel mustache. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth. A magic eraser can be effective for removing scuffs, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
