FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While the original Samba was an indoor football trainer, this specific 'Animal Print' version is designed primarily for fashion and casual wear, not high-performance athletic activities or sports.
How should I clean the pony hair upper?
Gently brush the pony hair in the direction of the nap with a soft brush. For specific stains, lightly dab with a damp cloth and a very mild soap, then wipe clean and air dry away from direct heat.
Is the sizing consistent with other adidas shoes?
These shoes come in a 'Regular fit'. Most users find adidas sizing to be consistent, but if you are between sizes, it's often recommended to check a size guide or consider sizing up slightly for optimal comfort. Info needed: Specific size chart reference.
What are the 'leather details' on the shoe?
The leather details typically refer to the classic adidas 3-Stripes on the sides, the heel tab, and possibly other trim elements that complement the pony hair upper.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The pony hair and leather materials are not designed to be waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material quality and appearance of your shoes.
What does 'OG' mean in the product name?
'OG' stands for 'Original,' indicating that this shoe retains the classic design elements and heritage of the initial adidas Samba release, albeit with a modern, bold twist.
Will the colourful lining be visible when I wear the shoes?
The colourful lining is primarily an internal design detail, adding to the shoe's unique aesthetic. It may be subtly visible around the collar depending on how the shoes are laced and worn, and your specific foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Pony hair looks matted or dirty.
Gently brush the pony hair in the direction of the nap with a soft brush (e.g., a suede brush). For stubborn spots, lightly dab with a damp cloth and a very mild soap solution, then wipe clean and air dry.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like many shoes with leather components, these may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your feet. Ensure laces are not too tight.
Discoloration or scuffs appear on leather details.
For minor scuffs, gently rub with a clean, dry cloth. For more significant marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner appropriate for the material and color, following the product's instructions.
Rubber outsole losing grip or looks dirty.
Clean the outsole regularly with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. A soft brush can help remove dirt from the tread pattern to restore grip.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your adidas Originals Samba OG Animal Print shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Pony Hair Upper: Gently brush the pony hair in the direction of the nap with a soft brush (e.g., a suede brush or soft-bristled clothes brush) to remove dust and maintain its texture. For specific spots or light dirt, lightly dab with a damp, clean cloth and a very mild soap solution. Always wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Leather Details: For the leather sections (like the 3-Stripes and heel tab), use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for the color. Apply with a soft cloth and buff gently. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Rubber Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can help remove dirt from the tread.
- General Care: Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme heat, which can damage the materials. Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
