adidas Samba OG Black White Gum

First released in 2018 with ongoing reissues, the adidas Samba OG Black White Gum preserves the cultural significance of the Samba lineage while refining it for modern wearers. Originating as an indoor football shoe in 1949, the Samba silhouette continues to bridge sporting heritage and streetwise sensibility.

This iteration features a sleek upper of full-grain black and white leather, highlighted by contrasting suede overlays and covered with the iconic gold foil “Samba” branding. The gum rubber cupsole completes the vintage look with its signature durability and traction, essential for terraces and city streets alike. Attention to detail extends to synthetic leather lining and a padded collar for all-day comfort without sacrificing style.

Positioned within curated selections, this pair appeals to sneaker enthusiasts who appreciate an artifact with both historical context and contemporary versatility. It stands as a refined expression of cultural legacy, made to be preserved and worn with confidence.

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.
