FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These Samba OG trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
How do I clean the red accents?
For the red accents, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could affect the colour. For stubborn marks, consult a specialist cleaner for leather and coloured materials.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help protect them and maintain their shape.
Will the white leather get dirty easily?
White leather can show dirt more readily than darker colours. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and prompt attention to spills or marks will help keep them looking their best.
What are the main differences between Samba OG and other Samba models?
The Samba OG typically features a more classic design, often with a gum sole and premium leather construction, staying true to the original silhouette. Other models might have variations in materials, sole design, or colourways.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, these trainers are designed to be worn with socks. Most people prefer wearing them with thin to medium-thickness socks for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize creasing, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Soles becoming dirty
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing to maintain grip.
Discoloration on white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner for white leather. For minor scuffs, a magic eraser can be cautiously used on the leather, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with new ones. Ensure they are tied at a comfortable tension, not overly tight, to reduce stress on the material.
