My first Samba have 8years (!) Survived the weekly hobby indoor football, did not have the Plastikschwitzfeeling but felt somehow breathable and were soft and cuddly from the rigidity ago. Then bought 5 years ago, the same model, the hard sole, which was formerly rubbery perfect. Now everything somehow uncomfortable, plastic sole way too hard. Easy to football and also Road unsuitable. The same with the white, which to me has looked out after 6 months road the little toe. China sends his regards. For 2 euros manufactured, supplied for 20 to Adidas ... cheap, zero technology more in the shoe but it stuck n pointed profit for China and three stripes. Hats off! Again few shortsighted German managers seduced ... Na mainly the quarterly results and the bonuses vote ... Too bad about the old quality. Could really howl ...
