Review on Adidas Performance Samba M I Leather Indoor πŸ‘Ÿ Soccer Shoe: A Trusted Choice for Infant/Toddler Soccer Players by Will Rahman

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 have a hard black sole probably were 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. Do not order a size 5.5 unless They'll be more comfortable with a solid black rubber sole rather than a brown one. First Review: 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 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 picture shows the color difference of the sole between a pair, which is from a famous authentic samba shoe (sandwiched between the pair under consideration) and the video shows me struggling to bend it (please ignore my exhalation - I didn't understand that picks up the audio lol). I will definitely be returning this pair because even though the shoes I received are genuine, the sole is not at all what was advertised. Nonetheless,

Pros
  • Suede toe cap
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
