The soles on theses are black now, which is a bit of a let down as I was looking forward to the classic brown soles.

Been wearing Sambas for many many years, across many variants: Classic, OG, ADV, etc. These particular ones are the worst, I'm not sure what's going on with them. Every part of the shoe feels like it's made of cheaper material. The soles are nearly black (not as attractive as the classic brown-colored gum) and they squeak with every step. So even though they look like Sambas they don't feel like Sambas. I would avoid these.

These are the same model shoe but aren't the same shoes I ordered. The quality is atrocious and the colors don't even compare. I understand these are popular right now so they're probably being produced in extreme bulk but because of the popularity they should also be produced with the same quality.

I was told by some people that these would be comfortable but I just didn't feel it. They felt too flat and not enough heel and toe support. My feet started hurting 3 hours into wearing them for work eventually the pain shot to my back even sitting down the material felt like I was restrained from giving my feet a break, they also squeaked to much on laminate flooring. It might be for others so don't knock it till you try it but they just weren't for me.

It's too tight! I wear a size 9 but due to reviews I read about the product, went up half an inch and bought a size 9.5. However, it's still too tight. Will send it back for a refund.

The arch is in the wrong place. It's too far forward. This is the first pair of Adidas I've had like this. They are also super squeaky.

I love Sambas, been wearing them since I was 16. I was really disappointed with the gumsole. It's black, it's not the original brown gumsole. I returned and I'm searching for some sambas with the original gumsole. Great shoes! Horrible choice of gumsole. If you're okay with that they are great shoes.

Not like Samba OG shoes. They have a bunch of arch support that was very uncomfortable for me.

The product looks nice, but it is very uncomfortable for my wide feet. The arch is to high and the middle too thin.

Adidas took the Samba Classic and ruined it with these. Zero arch support, minimal cushioning, low quality uppers. So disappointed.
For those who want a short tongue and no arch support, you can buy the OG model. This one is absolutely pointless.
Bring back the Samba Classics!!!!

I bought this as a gift for my husband. He wore this once then it looks so bad after. He told me it looks like it was fake. I agree it looks really bad! Pls don't buy this

Not true to size at all! I've ordered 9w, and it's actually 10w. One size bigger.

Wanted to love them, but the build quality broke my heart. The insole wasn’t even glued onto the shoe. Maybe someday you will figure out how to make the glue stick, until then…. Not a good buy.

Unfortunately, I have a narrow foot. And width D is just too big. I’m better with a width C.
