FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

While inspired by athletic heritage, the SL 72 OG is primarily designed for casual wear and urban adventures, offering comfort for daily activities rather than high-performance sports or running.

How do I determine the correct size?

These shoes come in a regular fit. We recommend referring to adidas' official size chart for UK 4 to ensure the best fit. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying both.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from durable nylon with stylish suede overlays, providing a blend of resilience and classic aesthetic.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The nylon and suede materials offer limited water resistance. For best care and longevity, it's recommended to avoid heavy rain or standing water.

How do I clean the midsole?

The EVA midsole can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap or a dedicated sneaker cleaner. Avoid abrasive scrubbing to protect the material.

What makes the SL 72 OG 'OG'?

'OG' stands for Original, indicating that this design is a direct re-interpretation or homage to the very first SL 72 model launched in 1972, retaining many of its iconic features.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The EVA midsole provides general cushioning and comfort suitable for casual wear. For specific arch support needs, you may consider adding personal orthotic inserts.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight.

Ensure you've selected the correct UK size 4. Adjust the lace closure for a more relaxed or secure fit. Wear them for short periods initially to allow for break-in.

Suede or nylon appears dirty/stained.

For nylon, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

Clean the rubber outsole regularly to remove accumulated dirt and debris. While designed for urban traction, exercise caution on extremely wet or icy surfaces.

Color fading or material damage.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can cause color fading. Store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and tighten the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable regular fit. Ensure your heel is properly seated for optimal comfort. Adjust lacing for personalized support.

Compatibility

These sneakers are highly versatile, pairing well with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, dresses, and tracksuits. They are perfect for daily wear, city exploration, casual outings, and adding a retro touch to your wardrobe. Their Solar Red color makes them a statement piece for any outfit.

Care

To maintain the look and longevity of your SL 72 OGs, gently clean the nylon and suede upper with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for nylon and suede. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners. Allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Regular cleaning helps preserve both material integrity and color.
