The Adidas Samba is a certified classic—iconic design, timeless style, and unbeatable versatility. But with their suede toes, leather uppers, and gum soles, keeping them clean can be a challenge. Whether you’ve been rocking them in the streets or just picked up a pre-loved pair, this guide will show you how to clean your Sambas safely and effectively.
🧽 DIY Method: The Simple Home Approach
If you're after a quick refresh, here’s how you can clean your Sambas using common household items:
What you’ll need:
-
A soft brush or old toothbrush
-
Mild soap or detergent
-
A small bowl of warm water
-
A soft cloth or sponge
Steps:
-
Dry brush first: Remove surface dirt using a soft brush.
-
Mix soap and water: Use a few drops of mild detergent in warm water.
-
Spot clean: Dip a cloth into the solution and gently wipe the leather areas. Use a damp brush for the suede, being careful not to soak it.
-
Wipe and air dry: Use a clean cloth to blot excess moisture and allow your trainers to dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
This method works, but there’s a much better way for long-term care and premium results 👇
