FAQs
How do I clean the 'Preloved Ruby' red color without fading it?
For the leather and suede, use a gentle cleaning method as described in the 'Care Instructions'. For the rubber sole, a mix of mild soap and water can be used. Always air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
Are these sneakers true to size?
The adidas Samba OG typically features a standard fit. Most customers find them true to their usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a sizing chart for adidas Samba models.
Can I wear these for running or sports activities?
No, the adidas Samba OG is designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker. While it offers good grip and comfort for everyday wear, it is not engineered for the support, cushioning, or specialized performance required for running or other intensive sports.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
These sneakers are versatile and can be worn with various sock types, including no-show socks for a cleaner look, ankle socks for casual comfort, or even crew socks for a more retro or streetwear style, depending on your preference and outfit.
Is the sole slippery in wet conditions?
The dark rubber outsole is designed to provide excellent grip. While it performs well in dry to lightly damp conditions, like any shoe, extreme wet or icy surfaces can reduce traction. Applying a water repellent can help with light moisture.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper of the adidas Samba OG "Preloved Ruby" is made from a combination of durable leather and soft suede, providing a premium feel and classic aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to lift dirt and restore its texture. For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser before brushing.
Leather parts look dull or have minor scuffs.
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For dullness, apply a small amount of leather conditioner. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out gently with a clean, soft cloth.
Shoes develop an odor.
Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then vacuum or shake it out. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry after wear.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your adidas Samba OG sneakers, especially with their leather and suede components, follow these care guidelines:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the leather and rubber sole with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Suede Care: For suede sections, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner applied sparingly can be effective. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For stubborn marks on leather, use a mild leather cleaner with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Wipe off any excess with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and suede to protect against spills and light moisture. Reapply periodically.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to maintain their shape.
