Review on Adidas Samba Classic Soccer Black Men's Shoes by David Citizen

Update: Having bought a 2nd pair from Amazon and a 3rd pair elsewhere I believe the 2 pairs that I got from Amazon with hard black soles. were probably genuine, but still not what Revain advertises 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 Review: Doesn't seem authentic. I ordered a pair of classic size 5.5 Samba shoes (sold and supplied 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 ( which sambas are known for) . 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 real samba shoe (sandwiched between the pair under consideration) and the video shows me struggling to bend it (please ignore my exhalation - I have that not understood picks up the sound lol). In any case, I am definitely returning this pair because even if the shoes I received are authentic, the sole does not correspond at all to what was advertised. However, I ordered a second pair to make sure it was the only size that was defective. 5.5 Samba or if this is a recurring problem with the 5.5 size Samba sold by Revain.
