The primary difference is the materials used. The Samba Vegan replaces animal-derived materials found in the original Samba with vegan alternatives and incorporates recycled content in its construction.
Do these trainers come in other colors besides white and black?

How durable are the vegan materials compared to traditional leather?
Vegan leather alternatives have advanced significantly in durability. While they can be very resilient, their longevity can depend on the specific type of vegan material used and the care they receive. Proper cleaning and maintenance are key.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness in new shoes
This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Gentle flexing of the shoes can also help speed up the process.
Discoloration on vegan leather upper
Use a dedicated vegan shoe cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but like all footwear, performance can be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Fit feels too narrow or too wide
Try wearing thicker or thinner socks. If the fit is significantly off, consider if this is the correct size for your foot. Refer to sizing guides and compare with other shoes you own.
