FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The SL 72 RS typically follows standard adidas sizing, which is consistent with most athletic footwear. If you are between sizes, consider sizing up for comfort.

Can I use these for running?

While based on a running archive, these are lifestyle trainers. They lack the specialized cushioning and motion-control technology required for modern running.

Are they water-resistant?

The trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry weather conditions to protect the materials.

How do I maintain the white colour on the sole?

Use a white shoe whitener or a melamine sponge dampened with water to gently remove marks from the rubber midsole.

What material is the upper made of?

Depending on the specific production batch, the SL 72 RS typically features a mix of nylon and high-quality synthetic or natural leather overlays.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on white detailing

Gently clean the affected area using a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth.

Creasing at the toe box

This is common with frequent wear; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your SL 72 RS trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper materials may include nylon or leather, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt after each wear. For deeper cleaning, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can damage the structural adhesives. Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic sock thickness relative to your UK size 10 selection.
