The terrace trio — Samba, Campus 00s and Gazelle — carries almost all of the Adidas demand in South Africa right now, with the Handball Spezial close behind. All three run long and narrow, which makes sizing the thing to get right before you order.
Cape Town orders typically arrive in 2–3 business days for a flat R100, covering the City Bowl, Southern Suburbs, Atlantic Seaboard, Northern Suburbs and the Cape Flats.

Sambas, Campuses and Gazelles are built on lasts that run long and narrow, so your usual size will feel roomy in length and tight across the toes. Half a size down solves it for most people. Wide feet should stay at their normal size rather than sizing down, and use the measurements on each product page.
Adidas Sambas, Campus 00s, Gazelles, Puma Speedcats and New Balance move far better in Cape Town than they do inland, while the chunky Air Max shapes skew the other way. The terrace rail is deliberately deeper because of it.
