Product Information
Full details
The Adidas Samba Vegan in White Gum is designed for the environmentally conscious adult seeking classic athletic style without animal-derived materials. Its key benefit is offering an authentic Samba look and feel with sustainable construction. A potential caveat is that vegan leather may require slightly different care than traditional leather. This shoe retains the iconic indoor soccer silhouette, prioritizing recycled content in its upper (20%) and completely eliminating animal products.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly vegan?
Yes, the Adidas Samba Vegan is designed entirely without animal-derived materials. This includes the upper, lining, and sole components.
How do I clean the gum sole?
The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but use it gently and only on the rubber part.
What is the main difference between Samba Vegan and the original Samba?
The primary difference is the material construction. The Samba Vegan uses vegan alternatives and recycled content instead of animal-derived leather found in the original Samba.
Can I wear these for sports?
The Samba Vegan is designed primarily for casual, everyday wear. While they share a silhouette with an indoor soccer shoe, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How is the sizing compared to other Adidas shoes?
The sizing for the Samba Vegan generally follows standard Adidas sizing. It is recommended to consult the Adidas size chart or try them on if possible for the most accurate fit.
What does the 'White Gum' colorway refer to?
'White Gum' refers to the primary color of the shoe's upper (white) and the color of the outsole (gum brown).
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear.
This is normal for vegan leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to adapt to your foot's shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Scuff marks on the gum sole.
Gently clean scuff marks with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used carefully on the rubber sole only.
Discoloration of the white upper.
Use a specialized shoe cleaner for white vegan materials or a damp cloth with a very mild soap solution. Test any cleaning agent on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces showing wear.
Replace laces with standard shoelaces available at most footwear retailers. Ensure the length is appropriate for the number of eyelets on the shoe.
