FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a track design, the SL 72 OG is intended for casual, everyday lifestyle wear rather than modern high-intensity sports.
How do I maintain the suede texture?
Use a suede-specific brush regularly to keep the nap lifted and remove dust.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive components of the shoe.
Are they true to size?
The Adidas SL 72 OG generally fits true to size for an adult foot, but those who prefer a looser fit may consider sizing up slightly.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium suede, providing both durability and a soft aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or debris on the suede
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift dirt out of the fabric nap.
Water spots on the material
Allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature, then use a suede brush to restore the texture.
Scuff marks on the white detailing
Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the rubber elements, avoiding the suede.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas SL 72 OG trainers last, follow these care instructions:
- Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to guard against the elements.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the nap of the material. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Stain Removal: For spot cleaning, use a suede eraser to gently rub away surface marks. Do not use standard household detergents.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the suede color over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a neutral black-and-white colorway, making them highly versatile for pairing with a wide range of outfits, from streetwear to classic sportswear silhouettes.
