FAQs
Are these suitable for sports?
While the Samba has football roots, the OG model is primarily designed for street style and casual daily wear, not high-performance athletic activities.
How do I choose the correct size?
The Adidas Samba OG uses standard UK sizing for adults. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, keeping in mind they might feel snug before breaking in.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The leather and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. While light rain is generally fine, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to prevent damage. Consider using a protective spray.
What makes the Samba OG different from other Adidas sneakers?
The Samba OG is distinguished by its deep heritage from the 1950s, its classic silhouette, and the combination of leather uppers and suede overlays, setting it apart from more modern or performance-oriented Adidas designs.
How long should these sneakers last?
With proper care and maintenance, the high-quality materials and durable rubber sole mean your Adidas Samba OG sneakers are built for lasting wear and can serve you for many years.
Is the sizing gender-specific?
No, the Adidas Samba OG is a Unisex design, meaning the sizing is not gender-specific. You should refer to the standard adult UK size.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.
Wear them for short periods around the house. The leather uppers and suede overlays are designed to break in and mold to your foot over time.
White leather appears dirty or scuffed.
Clean immediately with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or a white sneaker cleaner.
Suede overlays look matted or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush off dirt and restore the nap. For dry stains, a suede eraser can be effective.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur if moisture gets between the sole and the insole. Try removing the insole, cleaning and drying both surfaces, and then reinserting. A small amount of talcum powder can also help reduce friction.
Lack of traction on wet surfaces.
While the rubber sole provides good grip, no shoe is completely slip-proof. Exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of debris for optimal traction.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Samba OG sneakers, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: For the leather uppers, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For suede overlays, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore nap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Stain Treatment: Address stains promptly. For leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be used. For suede, a suede eraser can help with dry marks.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray designed for leather and suede to repel water and stains, especially for white footwear.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the sneakers with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the sneakers when not in use.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash your leather and suede sneakers, as this can cause irreversible damage.
