FAQs
What is the main difference between this Samba LT and the original Samba?
The main difference is the oversized, soccer boot-like tongue on the Samba LT, which covers the lace area, distinguishing it from the more minimalist tongue of the original Samba.

How do I clean the leather nubuck toe?
Use a specialized nubuck cleaner and a soft brush to gently remove dirt and restore the texture. Avoid using water directly on the nubuck as it can alter its appearance.
What does 'Preloved Yellow' refer to in the name?
'Preloved Yellow' refers to the specific colorway and finish of the trainers, suggesting a vintage-inspired or slightly worn-in aesthetic in a yellow hue.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from leather, with a characteristic leather nubuck toe.
What is the release date of this model?

Troubleshooting
Discomfort after initial wear
Leather trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a comfortable fit.
Color transfer from the suede/nubuck
Some color transfer can occur, especially when new or wet. Use a suede protector spray and avoid wearing in heavy rain. If transfer occurs, try to clean affected areas with a suitable cleaner.
Sole feels stiff
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and can feel stiff initially. Regular wear will help to make it more flexible.
