adidas Samba OG Preloved Red Leopard

Released in January 2025, the adidas Samba OG Preloved Red Leopard brings a daring new chapter to the cultural legacy of the Samba OG artifact. Rooted in football history yet perpetually relevant, this edition highlights the brand’s ongoing dialogue between heritage and modern street culture.

The sneaker’s upper showcases faux pony hair adorned with a vibrant red-and-black leopard pattern, contrasted by off-white leather accents along the iconic serrated Three Stripes, tongue, and heel tab. The sunburnt orange lining adds energy, while gum rubber outsole preserves the terrace-inspired durability and vintage allure. Every stitch is precisely executed, underscoring the curatorial approach to craftsmanship.

Designed in women’s sizing, the Preloved Red Leopard is part of a curated selection that reinterprets archival silhouettes for new artistic expression. Its limited-edition release and bold aesthetic transform the Samba icon into a preserved artifact for the tastemaker who values both narrative and impact.

To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.

• General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.

• Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
