Use a soft suede brush for daily dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
The Adidas SL 72 was inspired by athletic designs but is primarily intended as a lifestyle or casual sneaker. While comfortable for everyday walking, it is not engineered for intensive running or high-impact sports.
It is strongly recommended to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. For light dampness, consider using a high-quality suede protector spray.
Before first wear, apply a good quality suede and nubuck protector spray according to the product's instructions. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
The SL 72 features a slim, athletic silhouette. Most users find it true to size, but if you have wider feet, you might experience a snug fit initially, which can break in over time. Always refer to the Adidas size guide for best accuracy.
'SL' stands for 'Super Light', and '72' refers to the year 1972 when the shoe was originally launched, marking its debut as a lightweight training shoe for athletes.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its nap and appearance. For stubborn areas, use a suede eraser before brushing.
The SL 72 has a slim profile. Allow a short break-in period for the suede to conform to your foot. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider checking Adidas's sizing guide or consulting with a shoe specialist.
For fresh liquid stains, blot immediately. For dried stains, use a suede eraser. For oil-based stains, apply cornstarch or talcum powder and let it sit. If these methods fail, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.
Check if the insoles are rubbing against the inside of the shoe; removing and reinserting them can sometimes help. If the squeak is from the outsole, it might be due to a new surface or moisture; it usually subsides with wear.
