FAQs
Are the Adidas SL 72 OG sneakers suitable for running?
While inspired by vintage running shoe designs, the SL 72 OG is primarily crafted for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance running or strenuous athletic activities.
How do I best clean the white leather on my sneakers?
For routine cleaning, gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather, applied with a soft cloth. Always avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
What materials are used in the upper of the SL 72 OG?
The upper of this model features a combination of premium leather and soft suede overlays, providing both durability and a classic, textured aesthetic.
Is the sizing true to fit for the UK 9 model?
Adidas sizing can sometimes vary. For the best fit, it's generally recommended to consult the official Adidas size guide, especially if you are unsure, or try them on. This specific model is a UK size 9 for adult feet. Info needed: [Specific fit recommendations based on customer feedback, if available, e.g., 'generally true to size' or 'runs slightly small/large'].
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather conditions?
The leather and suede materials used in the SL 72 OG are not inherently waterproof. To protect your sneakers and prolong their life, it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or standing water. A water-repellent spray designed for leather and suede can offer some protection against light moisture.
What is the benefit of the EVA midsole?
The lightweight EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, which significantly enhances comfort for all-day wear and reduces foot fatigue.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or dirty.
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. For deeper conditioning, use a leather conditioner to restore shine and suppleness.
Suede overlay is stained or matted.
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly, following product instructions carefully.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and the outsole. Remove the insoles, clean and dry both thoroughly, then reinsert. A small amount of talcum powder sprinkled under the insole can also help reduce friction.
Laces are dirty or damaged.
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, then air dry. If severely damaged, replacement laces can be purchased from adidas or footwear retailers.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the pristine look of your SL 72 OG sneakers, especially with their white leather upper and suede accents.
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt.
- Stain Removal (Leather): For tougher marks on the white leather, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water or a dedicated leather cleaner. Apply with a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Stain Removal (Suede): For suede stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub away marks. If using a liquid suede cleaner, follow product instructions carefully and test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage leather and suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather and suede protective spray to create a barrier against water and stains before the first wear and periodically thereafter.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
