Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of nylon, with white leather accents on the heel mustache and 3-Stripes.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
These Samba OG trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good traction, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running or professional sports.
How do I clean the gum rubber sole?
The gum rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a pencil eraser or a magic eraser can be used carefully.
Do these trainers have good arch support?
The Samba OG has a relatively flat profile. While it offers a comfortable fit for many, it does not feature specialized arch support like some athletic or orthopedic shoes.
Are the reflective accents highly visible?
The reflective accents are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, reflecting light sources such as headlights. They are subtle during the day but become noticeable when illuminated.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the gum sole offers some traction, the nylon and leather upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What is the sizing like for the Samba OG?
Sizing can vary. It is generally recommended to check the adidas size guide and consider trying them on if possible, as some find they run true to size, while others prefer to go up or down a half size depending on foot width and preference.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Gum sole scuff marks
Light scuff marks on the gum sole can often be removed gently with a pencil eraser or a magic eraser. Be careful not to scrub too hard.
Nylon upper appears dirty or stained
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent stains, consult a specialized nylon cleaner, testing first on a small, hidden area.
Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If they feel stiff, try using a lace-loosening tool or gently working them back and forth.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the nylon upper, use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the nylon and leather components.
- Cleaning Leather Accents: Wipe the white leather accents with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning the Outsole: The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Stubborn dirt can sometimes be removed with a magic eraser, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Lining: If the interior lining becomes dirty, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe it down. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
