FAQs
What material is the upper made from?
The upper of this specific adidas Originals Samba OG is made from polyester, featuring a distinctive checkered pattern in black and red.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, these Samba OG trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or high-intensity sports.
How do I clean the checkered pattern without damaging it?
Gently wipe the patterned upper with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild, diluted soap. Avoid scrubbing harshly or using strong cleaning agents, and allow them to air dry.
Is the sizing consistent with other adidas shoes?
Generally, adidas UK sizing is consistent across their range. However, if you are unsure, it is always recommended to consult an adidas size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the polyester upper offers some basic protection, these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions to protect the materials and prolong their lifespan.
What does 'OG' in Samba OG stand for?
OG stands for 'Original,' indicating that this model closely adheres to the classic design elements and heritage of the initial adidas Samba release.
Troubleshooting
Checkered pattern appears dull or dirty
Gently clean the polyester upper with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Wipe in the direction of the material weave if applicable, then pat dry and air dry completely.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The polyester upper and new materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
Sole has reduced grip
Inspect the gum rubber outsole for trapped debris or excessive dirt. Clean the sole thoroughly with a brush and water to restore traction. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing on slippery surfaces.
Laces frequently come untied
Try a double knot for added security. Alternatively, consider replacing the laces with a material that offers more friction or a different lacing technique.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the polyester checkered upper with a soft, damp cloth using a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, which could damage the pattern or material.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the gum rubber outsole and midsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause material degradation.
