Adidas Samba OG W | Black / Wonder White | Trainers

The Adidas Samba OG W: A football classic for the streets

The Adidas Originals Samba is not only one of the oldest and most iconic sneakers in the world, but also an essential cornerstone of modern streetwear . Originally designed as an indoor soccer shoe in the 1950s, the Samba has never forgotten its sporting roots. This women's model ( W ) in the Core Black / Wonder White / Silver Metallic colorway presents the silhouette in its most iconic form: deep black as the base, accentuated by the striking 3-Stripes in soft Wonder White .

The Samba OG – the original version – impresses with its sleek, low-profile silhouette and high-quality material blend. It embodies a minimalist elegance that makes it the ultimate versatile shoe. Whether paired with an athleisure look or jeans, this retro sneaker is a timeless statement that will never go out of style.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Adidas Originals Samba OG

Q: What is the difference between the Samba OG W “Core Black” and the classic Samba?

A: The "W" (Women's) version of the Samba OG at Stickabush Berlin is specifically tailored to the female foot anatomy, but offers the identical, timeless look of the original. The "Core Black / Wonder White" colorway replaces the often harsh pure white with a softer cream white (Wonder White) on the three stripes and the heel counter. The "Silver Metallic" details on the side Samba lettering give the shoe a subtle, high-quality finish.

Q: How does the adidas Samba OG W in Core Black fit?

A: The Samba OG W is generally true to size (TTS) . Because it has a very narrow silhouette and a flat toe box, it often feels a bit tight at first. However, the high-quality smooth leather molds to the foot after a short break-in period. If you have very wide feet, we at Stickabush Berlin recommend choosing half a size larger.

Q: What materials is the Samba OG W “Wonder White” made of?

A: This sneaker combines a supple full-grain leather upper with the signature suede T-shaped toe cap. The outsole is made of classic natural rubber (gum-sole), which not only provides the iconic look but also offers excellent grip on urban asphalt.

Q: How do I prevent the gum sole of the Samba OG from staining or becoming brittle?

A: The natural rubber sole is extremely durable and non-marking, meaning it leaves no streaks. To keep the material supple, the shoe should not be exposed to direct heat (e.g., a radiator). For cleaning the sole, a damp cloth with mild soapy water is often sufficient at Stickabush Berlin .

Q: Why is the Samba OG W a must-have for the current “Clean Girl” or “Blokecore” trend?

A: The Samba OG is at the heart of these trends. Its simple black and white aesthetic allows it to be styled both elegantly with dress pants and casually with vintage football jerseys or baggy jeans. It's one of the most sought-after sneakers at Stickabush Berlin because it bridges the gap between sports archives and modern high-fashion streetwear.
