FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by retro running shoes, the SL 72 OG is primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and style, not high-performance athletic running.
How do I clean the pink color without fading it?
For the pink nylon, use a mild soap and a soft, damp cloth, wiping gently. For the suede, use a specialized suede brush. Always air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the color.
What is an EVA midsole?
An EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole is a lightweight, foam-like material that provides cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to the shoe's overall comfort.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Most users find adidas SL 72 OG shoes generally run true to size. However, if you are between sizes or have wider feet, consider trying them on or consulting a size chart.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The nylon and suede materials are not highly water-resistant. While light drizzle is usually fine, it's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and prolong shoe life. Consider a protective spray.
What type of socks should I wear with these?
These shoes are versatile. You can wear no-show socks for a sleek, minimalist look, or crew/athletic socks for added comfort and a more traditional athletic style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. If still uncomfortable, verify you have the correct size. Adidas shoes can sometimes run slightly different in sizing compared to other brands.
Suede overlays appear discolored or stained
Use a suede brush or eraser to gently lift stains. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth, then allow to air dry before brushing. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
Nylon upper looks dirty or scuffed
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. For deeper marks, a soft-bristled brush can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath, and replacing it. A small amount of talcum powder might also help reduce friction.

Care
- Cleaning the Nylon Upper: Gently wipe dirt with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing which can damage the fabric.
- Cleaning Suede Overlays: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser. Avoid water on suede where possible, as it can stain.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for nylon and suede to help repel water and stains.
