Samba OG Crystal Embellished Sneaker (Women)

Love the shoes but gave it a 3 because of the defects. Seems they used a different material on the shoe for the crystals to stay intact. Some areas of the shoes are dented in. I’ve provided pictures. I’m going to thinking about keeping the shoe for a few days or return for a full refund. I’m trying to see if I can oversee the defective problems. I also ordered the white crystal pair from another store so I’ll compare also before deciding on return.

When I saw these on the Nordstrom site, I just knew that I had to add them to my Samba Collection. These are absolutely gorgeous. If you are a Samba connoisseur then you know that Sambas tends to run a bit large in their women sizes. For reference I usually wear a 7 1/2 in women and 6 in men Sambas. I purchased these in my usually 7 1/2 and they do fit with extra room in the toe area, but I think I may return them and get a 7. If you want a true elevated casual look for the holidays, get these.

I was on the fence for a while for Samba in green/black colours and I am glad I bought them finally. Very vibrant colour, tts, great quality and comfort as usual for Samba. I was thinking to wear them in a fall but as it gets warmer I started wearing them with jean shorts, jolts or white Bermuda. The colour contrast looks amazing and appropriate for spring to summer transition. I thought the cow and Chita prints were the coolest in Samba sneakers I bought earlier until I got this green with animal print version.
