FAQs

What is the main difference between this Samba OG and traditional leather Sambas?

The primary difference is the use of a nylon fabric for the main upper instead of leather, offering a lighter feel and a more modern aesthetic, alongside leather accents for contrast.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the nylon upper and leather accents are not fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.

How do I clean the gum rubber sole?

You can clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth and a soft brush. For tougher dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used.

Do the reflective accents actually work?

Yes, the reflective accents are designed to catch light and increase visibility in low-light conditions, providing a safety feature.

What is the intended use for these shoes?

These are lifestyle shoes intended for casual everyday wear. They offer comfort and style for walking and general use.

What does 'Focus Olive Gum' refer to?

'Focus Olive' is the primary color of the shoe's upper, and 'Gum' refers to the color and material of the rubber outsole.

What materials are used in the adidas Samba OG Focus Olive Gum?

The shoe features a nylon upper with leather accents on the heel and 3-Stripes. The liner is also made of leather, and it has a gum rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not too tight. If the issue persists, consider the fit of the shoe for your foot shape.

Stains on the nylon upper

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Gum sole discoloration

Discoloration can be natural over time. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth may help, but significant discoloration is often part of the material's aging process.
