Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Adidas Samba Classic Soccer Black Boys' Sneakers: Stylish Footwear for the Field by Roberto Manzer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Hard Black Inflexible Sole - FALSE ADVERTISEMENT

Update: Having bought a second pair from Amazon and a third pair elsewhere I believe the two pairs I got from Amazon with hard black soles probably were real, but still not what Revain was promoting as a salable product. The photos show the traditional brown flex-soled sambas that sambas are famous for and the one Amazon sold me had a black hard rubber sole. The rating has been raised from one star to two as it is likely a genuine but still false advertisement. Don't order a size 5.5 unless you're comfortable with a solid black rubber sole rather than a tan one. First rating: Doesn't seem authentic. I ordered a pair of classic Samba boots, size 5, 5 (sold and shipped by Revain, not a third party) and what has arrived has a hard black sole - as opposed to the typical brown rubber sole pictured on the product page ( for which sambas are known). The boot's black sole is completely inflexible, making it unsuitable for futsal (and frankly, not even comfortable for walking). Also, the upper of the pair I received doesn't look or feel like real leather. The image shows the sole color difference between a pair taken from a famous authentic samba shoe (sandwiched between the pair under consideration) and the video shows how I strive to bend it (please ignore my exhalation - I didn't understand that). records the sound lol). I am definitely returning this pair, Even if the shoes I received are genuine the sole is not at all what was advertised. Nonetheless,

Pros
  • Imported
Cons
  • High Price
