"Look down and check what you’re wearing on your feet. If it’s a pair of Adidas Sambas, I’m afraid you need to take them off immediately and never wear them again. Sorry. I don’t make the rules. Blame our beleaguered leader. In an Instagram video last Thursday, Rishi Sunak wore Sambas during a Downing Street interview to promote his tax policies. The doomed prime minister went for a white pair with navy stripes, teamed with skinny slacks and a tailored white shirt. Listen carefully and you could hear the death knell tolling for the trainer du jour."

Does anyone still wear Sambas other than when playing 5 a side football? 

ETA - just seen the pair a Sunak was wearing.  Apologies to any Samba wearers out there.  I was thinking of Samba Super.

Samba Supers are great. In the days I was a Sub Club regular they were definitely the best trainers to withstand numerous nights out there.

Also good trainers for the weather in Scotland.

Samba are part of the national dress of Shetland, paired with an Ac/Dc t-shirt

Should have went to Espookio as the Paisley Panda in Sambas.

Is the rest af your ensemble army fatigues?

No.

Fortunately I am lucky enough to live in year round sunshine so my t-shirt and short wearing self can pull off almost any style of trainer I fancy. 

I had these on the other night and, I don't want to blow my own trumpet, but I looked fantastic.

cleaning trainers, any tips how to do it and improve the trainers rather than make them look worse

Angelus foam. Toothbrush. Finish the knap in one direction. Outside to air dry.

Slightly OT, but has anyone ever heard of that weird spate of trainers with actual feet in them washing ashore in BC Canada?
