How does the SD differ from the standard Mexico 66?

The SD removes the heel-crossing Tiger Stripe tab and has a cleaner, slightly slimmer upper. The sole and overall shape stay close to the original.

Is it good for running or the gym?

No. It is a lifestyle shoe with a thin, flat sole and no modern cushioning. It is meant for casual wear.

It runs narrow and close to the foot. Shoppers with wide feet often go up half a size or choose another model.

For light days and short walks, yes. The flat sole and minimal arch support make long days on your feet less comfortable.

Leather with suede-look overlays, plus the crossed stripe detail and a rubber sole.

Both are slim retro trainers. The Mexico 66 SD is lighter and flatter, while the Samba has a slightly more padded collar and a gum sole.
