adidas Samba OG - White - UK 11

For pony hair, use a soft, dry brush to gently brush off dirt in the direction of the hair. For minor stains, a slightly damp cloth can be dabbed carefully, but avoid rubbing aggressively or saturating the material. Professional cleaning is recommended for deep stains.

While the Samba has roots in indoor football, the modern Samba OG with premium materials like pony hair is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. It is not recommended for high-performance sports or heavy athletic activities, as this could damage the delicate materials.

Generally, the adidas Samba OG in a regular fit is considered true to size for most individuals. However, foot shapes vary, so if you are between sizes or prefer a specific fit, trying them on or consulting the adidas size chart is advisable.

Before the first wear and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and delicate materials. This creates a protective barrier against spills and dirt. Always follow the product's instructions for application.

Store your Samba OG sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb any internal moisture, preserving their condition over time.

No, it is strongly advised not to put these sneakers in a washing machine. The premium cow leather and delicate pony hair finish can be severely damaged by machine washing, leading to cracking, shrinking, or material degradation. Always clean them by hand following the care instructions.

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild leather cleaner or white shoe cleaner. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather eraser can be effective. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Use a soft, dry brush (like a suede brush or toothbrush) to gently brush the pony hair in the direction of the grain to remove debris and restore its texture. For minor dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be dabbed, but avoid rubbing aggressively.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for athletic shoes or premium leather. Gently rub it into the leather with a soft cloth, then buff off any excess. This helps to moisturize and protect the material.

Sometimes squeaking can come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the inside of the shoe, and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath the insole before reinserting it. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole; ensure it's clean and free of debris.

Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot'. You can also try replacing the laces with new ones that might have a better grip or a slightly different texture.
