FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for playing sports?
No, while the Samba has football origins, this velvet version is designed purely for fashion and casual wear. It is not intended for athletic performance.
How do I best clean the velvet material?
For light cleaning, gently brush with a soft-bristled brush. For stains, dab with a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized velvet cleaner. Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals. Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for detailed guidance.
Is the sizing true to standard UK sizes?
Adidas Samba models typically run true to size, but individual fit can vary. This specific model is a UK size 5 for adult females. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is highly recommended to avoid wearing these velvet sneakers in rain or wet conditions, as velvet is very susceptible to water damage and can be difficult to restore once wet.
What does 'OG' stand for in Adidas Samba OG?
'OG' stands for 'Original' or 'Original Gangster,' indicating that the design closely follows the original, classic silhouette of the Adidas Samba.
What material is the lining made from?
The lining of these Adidas Samba OG Velvet sneakers is made from comfortable leather.
Troubleshooting
Velvet looks matted or dull.
Gently brush the velvet in one direction with a soft-bristled brush (e.g., a suede brush) to restore the nap and lift any compressed fibers.
Stains on the velvet upper.
Immediately spot clean with a slightly damp, clean cloth and a tiny amount of mild, diluted soap or a specialized velvet cleaner. Dab gently; do not rub vigorously, as this can spread the stain or damage the velvet.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct UK size 5. Adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. If discomfort persists, consider trying different lacing techniques or socks.
Rubber outsole has reduced grip.
Regularly clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be impacting traction.
Velvet appears scuffed or has pressure marks.
Gently steam the affected area using a garment steamer (held at a distance) or the steam from an iron (without touching the fabric). Then, lightly brush the velvet to lift the fibers. For deeper marks, repeat cautiously or consult a professional cleaner.

Care Instructions for Velvet Uppers
Proper care is crucial to maintain the unique look and feel of your velvet sneakers:
- Gentle Cleaning: For light dust or dirt, use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush or a very soft toothbrush) and gently brush the velvet in one direction to lift the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, use a damp, clean cloth (microfiber is ideal) with a very small amount of mild soap or a specialized velvet cleaner. Dab, do not rub, the affected area. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first.
- Avoid Water: Velvet is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing them in rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, dab gently with a clean towel and let them air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Protection: Consider using a velvet or fabric protector spray specifically designed for delicate materials. Always follow product instructions.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect the velvet from dust and pressure marks.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the velvet fibers.
