FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from durable leather material.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
The adidas Samba OG is primarily designed for casual wear and offers comfort and style. It is not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the white leather and green accents?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the leather clean. For the green accents, ensure the cloth is only slightly damp to avoid color transfer. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
What is the fit like?
The fit is generally considered standard for a low-top sneaker. The leather upper will conform to your foot shape over time, offering a more personalized fit.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.
What does 'OG' stand for in Samba OG?

Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try loosening the laces slightly or wearing thicker socks. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or balm using a soft cloth. For scuffs, try a matching color shoe polish after conditioning.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. While designed for traction, all rubber outsoles may have reduced grip on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Compatibility:
These low-top sneakers are highly compatible with a wide range of casual wear, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and casual trousers. They are suitable for adult males.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
