Customer Reviews adidas Samba

Not only were the soles black not brown as pictured, one side came completely unglued and basically fell off. In an airport, flying internationally. Luckily I hadn't checked in luggage yet so I was able to grab an extra pair of shoes. I had to throw them in the trash. I wore them less than a week! I love sambas in the past. Now, I feel ripped off and am afraid to buy again.

The shoes are not like the picture on display. They have black soles instead of brown ones.

Soles of the shoes are much much much darker than what they are in the delivered product. Don't know if they become more like the light brown of traditional soles, but its not the product I was hoping for.

The tongue on the shoe is far too large. I've worn Sambas for decades and enjoyed them, but the new larger tongue pokes into the ankle is uncomfortable and just too big.

Sambas are great shoes, I have warn them for many years, faithfully, and have no problem with the product. Customer service on the other hand, leaves much to be desired: I ordered samba original because Samba OG has been out of stock for many months. When the shoes arrived, they were defective, but QC can't catch everything, so I wasn't upset. I attempted to exchange the shoes, but I couldn't exchange for the same size, so I called in for assistance. The gent on the phone said that he would not be able to help, and that I had to go back to the website, return, and reorder. To me, I have already invested too much time into a defective product, and the fact that he would/could not assist is very disappointing. I now have to print a return label, and drive to the courier to return. With that, the shoes are now no longer available in my size. Long story short: I settled for another item to compensate for lack of inventory, the product was defective, customer service couldn't help/wasn't helpful, I have to go out of my way to return, and I can't replace because of more inventory issues. Simply I expect better, particularly considering how I have supported the company though out my life. Jim

I received the wrong color as pictured, where the sole was a dark black. I returned it for an exchange and received the wrong color again

Soles are not the color they are advertised as. I ordered these 3 times and the soles were black. The website needs to be updated. Will be returning.

This product does not look as advertised. The soles are suppose to be brown as in the picture however when i received the product the soles were black. This is the second time this has happened. I am returning the product.

I bought these thinking the rubber part of the shoe would be brown but it came black? the rubber bottom in the picture is brown not black.

Maybe I got a defected one but the sole wasn't classic gum colored. It was black. Will be returning unfortunately.

Uncomfortable the bottom part of. The arch to narrow and hard like having a rock in The shoe and step on it.

This shoe doesn't have the right midsole. It's supposed to be brown but the midsole on mine are black. I want the correct pair! Adidas why are you marketing a shoe that isn't the right one in the picture?

3 times tried to order what's in pic with tan sole always comes with black sole they guaranteed me that will send right shoe wrong again not worth the hassle

You guys aren't selling the shoe that shows in the picture!! When they arrived, it was nowhere near the shoe i ordered, It has a black sole and the tongue is also not the long tongue that it's supposed to be.

Sole is the wrong color. It's not light brown, it's basically black.

Started falling apart and gave me no traction indoors. It's kind comfortable but it's very lose even when tied up. I got a size smaller so it would fit snug but it didn't seem to work.

Garbage rubbish shoes. I am done with Adidas after 35 years.

Heat up too much. Not enough cushion. But it's good quality to hit the ball hard.

If Adidas doesn't have the material to make the bottom of the shoe the gum material and color it should be then change the description and photos. I've ordered two pairs now and both times have had to sell or return them. The bottom is a dark brown/black color.

In the description of the shoe it says it has a leather upper when you go into the specifications it says it's a synthetic leather very deceiving the shoe used to be an all leather sneaker which was the quality shoe in the past now they're Cheap rubber shoes

I have purchased countless Smabas over the years however I do not like the re-design. The soles are now black instead of the beautiful classic tan. The shoes only recently changed to a cheap material. I am really disappointed as these were my favorite shoes of all time.
