While the original SL 72 was a groundbreaking running shoe in 1972, this reissued version is designed primarily for casual wear and street style. Its retro design and comfort features are optimized for everyday use rather than high-performance athletic activities.
The upper of this specific Adidas SL 72 OG sneaker is crafted from durable leather, complemented by soft suede overlays, particularly on the T-toe section, giving it a premium and retro aesthetic.
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, a suede cleaner can be applied according to its instructions. Avoid getting suede excessively wet, and always allow it to air dry naturally.
Adidas sneakers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual sneaker size. If you are unsure, you can refer to the Adidas size guide for specific measurements.
Due to the leather and suede materials, we recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent potential damage or staining. If they do get wet, follow the specific care instructions for leather and suede to dry them properly.
The Adidas SL 72 OG features an EVA midsole which provides lightweight cushioning and general comfort. For individuals requiring specific or advanced arch support, custom insoles can often be used, provided they fit comfortably within the shoe.
'OG' stands for 'Original,' indicating that this sneaker is a reissue or an homage to the original design first released, in this case, in 1972.
Like most new footwear, your SL 72 OGs may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot. Ensure laces are not too tight.
If suede gets wet, allow it to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and uniform appearance. Avoid rubbing wet suede vigorously.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the inside of the shoe, and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath the insole before reinserting it. Ensure laces are tied properly.
