What makes adidas Originals Samba Og special?
adidas started out way back in 1949 in Germany, by Adolf "Adi" Dassler, who systematically built the company from small workshops into a global sports business that's beloved by millions around the world.
The adidas Originals Samba OG is a re-issue of the first Samba, which started out as a football trainer for hard or icy surfaces, but quickly became a regular feature for games on harder surfaces. Designers have kept the low profile, and the stitched T-toe, but they've added a little extra when it comes to materials and colour.
Now, you’ll find a pair of Sambas that goes with everything, from a tulle skirt and leather jacket to tracksuit bottoms and a plain tee.
Samba OG by adidas Originals and why they work
The standard Samba OG by adidas Originals comes with a soft leather upper and suede covers at the toe and the heel, as well as the original gum sole for that grip on hard surfaces. The padded sole and textile lining are there to give you added comfort and make it easier to break the shoe in.
When it comes to adidas trainers, the Samba OG is one of the most popular vintage revivals that the brand has to offer.
The leather models tend to take longer to scuff than the canvas pairs, and they're also easier to clean. These shoes combine with both casual and elegant looks, making them perfect for your capsule wardrobe.
How to wear and care for them
When it comes to styling these adidas shoes , there's an endless world of possibilities. The adidas Originals Samba OG works with cropped trousers, all types of denim, and neat chinos for a classy daytime look, no matter where you go. Grab a tee, a dress, a skirt, or the baggiest outfit you can find, and these kicks will work it for you.
Clean the leather with a damp cloth and a neutral cleaner, then dry at room temperature. Use a suede brush on suede after it dries. Apply a protector spray before the first outdoor use on suede to minimise staining.
