FAQs
Are the Adidas Samba OG Trainers suitable for sports?
While the Samba has athletic roots, the OG model is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. It offers comfort and durability for everyday activities but is not intended for high-impact sports.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear leather and suede shoes in heavy rain, as it can damage the materials. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
What is the difference between Samba and Samba OG?
The Samba OG typically refers to models that stay closer to the original design specifications and materials of the classic Samba from its early years, often featuring premium leather and specific suede placements.
How should I store my Samba OG trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can protect them from dust.
Do these trainers come in other colors?

Troubleshooting
Leather creasing heavily
Ensure the shoes fit correctly. Avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Apply a leather conditioner to keep the material flexible.
Suede becoming dirty or stained
Gently brush suede with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Apply a protector spray to prevent future stains.

Regular cleaning of the soles can prevent debris buildup. For significant wear, consider professional sole repair or replacement if available for the model.
