Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Samba OG:
General Cleaning: Wipe down the rubber outsole with a damp cloth after each wear to prevent dirt buildup.
Cotton Mesh: Gently clean the mesh areas with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a solution of mild soap and water. Scrub lightly in small circular motions.
Leather Sections: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
Suede Overlays: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or cleaner can be applied, followed by brushing.
Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
