I wore Sambas for indoor soccer a couple decades ago and it eventually became my regular casual shoes as well. I didn’t know what the Decons were so after feeling a pair of Gazelle Decons, I got intrigued. First thing I noticed when I got these was how soft they are compared to conventional Sambas. The material is very light and much softer as well. I love how they are so easy to put on and off. I just wish they will have more colours as I would like to get more decons for casual wear. Eventually I left Samba OGs and MNs to transition to Mundial Goals for soccer (they are just so much better for soccer imo). If more colours are offered for decons, I can see myself leaving my Stan Smiths (never really felt SS’s were that great for me) and Sambas OGs for street/casual wear.
