The Adidas Samba OG in the White / Dark Brown / Gum (Cloud White/Core Black/Gum) colorway—often referred to locally as the “Hash” or “Mocha” palette—is currently one of the most sought-after silhouettes in Sri Lanka. Blending football heritage with high-street fashion, this shoe is a staple for anyone looking to balance vintage vibes with a modern edge.
Product Overview
Originally designed in 1949 for frozen pitches, the Samba has evolved into a global lifestyle icon. This specific colorway offers a sophisticated alternative to the classic Black/White, replacing the standard black stripes with a deep, earthy Dark Brown that complements the Cloud White leather upper perfectly.
Key Features
-
Premium Material Mix: A soft, full-grain leather upper paired with the signature T-toe suede overlay in a light “Hash” or “Aluminium” grey.
-
The “Dark Brown” Detail: The iconic three stripes and heel tab are finished in a rich chocolate brown, providing a softer, more organic look than pure black.
-
Gum Rubber Outsole: The low-profile gum sole stays true to its indoor soccer roots, offering excellent grip and a nostalgic aesthetic.
-
Gold Foil Branding: “SAMBA” is embossed in metallic gold on the lateral side, adding a touch of premium luxury.

Care Instructions
Given Sri Lanka’s tropical climate:
-
Protect the Suede: Use a water-repellent spray on the T-toe area to prevent staining during sudden rains.
-
Leather Maintenance: Wipe the white leather with a damp cloth after wear to maintain that crisp, bright look.
-
Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to ensure the gum sole remains tacky and doesn’t harden
- SIZE AVAILABLE 40 – 45
