How does the Samba OG W fit compared with other adidas sneakers?

It runs narrow and close to the foot, closer than a Gazelle or Campus. Shoppers with wider feet often go up half a size.

Is the Samba OG W good for walking all day?

It has a thin, flat gum sole with little cushioning. It is fine for short trips and city wear but not ideal for long days on your feet.

What is the difference between the Samba OG and the Gazelle?

The Samba is lower and narrower with a gum cupsole and a T-toe overlay. The Gazelle has a slightly thicker sole and a roomier fit.

Can I wear the Samba OG W for skateboarding?

It has a gum rubber sole and a suede toe overlay that help with grip and wear, but it lacks the padding of a dedicated skate shoe.

How should I care for the leather and suede?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and brush the suede toe dry. Use a protector spray before the first wear to limit staining.

Our take on the Samba Og W

The adidas Samba OG W is the women's version of a terrace classic that has been in production since 1950. It pairs a soft leather upper with a gum rubber cupsole, a T-toe overlay and the low-profile shape that made the Samba a football and skate staple before it became a streetwear default. It suits anyone who wants a slim, flat sneaker that works with jeans, trousers and skirts. Against rivals like the Gazelle and Campus, the Samba is lower and narrower, with a harder gum sole and less padding, so it feels more retro and less cushioned underfoot.
