FAQs
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper features a full cheetah print on pony hair, complemented by leather details.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
No, while the Samba originated as an indoor football trainer, this specific version with a pony hair upper is designed for casual, everyday fashion wear, not athletic performance.
How should I clean the animal print pony hair?
Gently brush with a soft brush to remove dust. For stains, lightly blot with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat.
What kind of fit do these adidas Sambas have?
They feature a regular fit, designed for comfortable everyday wear.
What is the outsole made of?
The shoes are equipped with a durable rubber outsole for traction and longevity.
Are there other animal print variations or colors available?
Yes, adidas Samba Animal Print models may be available in other colors like Red or with different animal patterns depending on seasonal releases. This particular variant is black cheetah print.
Troubleshooting
Pony hair appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the pony hair in the direction of the nap with a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush). For stubborn dirt, use a lightly damp cloth with mild soap and blot the area, then allow to air dry.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are tying your laces securely. If they continue to loosen, try a double knot. Worn or slippery laces can also contribute; consider replacing them if they are old.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub
Adjust the lace tension to find your optimal fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, check if the size is correct for your foot (this variant is UK 8.5).
Rubber outsole shows signs of dirt or discoloration
Clean the rubber outsole using a damp cloth or a soft brush with a mild shoe cleaner. For tougher marks, an old toothbrush can be effective. Avoid getting cleaning solutions on the pony hair.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the unique look of your animal print pony hair Sambas.
- General Cleaning: For light dust or dirt, gently brush the pony hair in the direction of the nap using a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush or a soft shoe brush).
- Spot Cleaning Stains: For stubborn stains, use a clean, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (e.g., diluted baby shampoo). Gently blot the stained area. Do not rub vigorously, as this can damage the pony hair. After cleaning, blot with a dry cloth and allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Pony hair can be sensitive to prolonged exposure to water. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions if possible. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for delicate materials or pony hair to provide an extra layer of protection. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight, which can fade the print or dry out the materials.
