This specific variant of the adidas Originals SL 72 features a durable and stylish leather upper, complemented by a textile lining. Other SL 72 models may be available in nylon or suede.
Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic activities?
No, while inspired by athletic heritage, the adidas Originals SL 72 Trainers are primarily designed for casual everyday wear and urban adventures. They are not built for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
How should I clean the leather upper of my trainers?
For the leather upper, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, applying it according to the product's instructions. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

The adidas Originals SL 72 trainers generally run true to size with a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size.
What kind of cushioning do these trainers offer?
These trainers feature a comfortable EVA midsole, which provides lightweight cushioning and support, making them comfortable for extended periods of walking and daily wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather upper offers some natural resistance to moisture, these trainers are not waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions to protect the material and maintain their appearance.
What is the Ecotex textured tongue?
The Ecotex textured tongue is a specific design feature that enhances the comfort and fit of the trainer. It's designed to be soft against the foot and contribute to the overall premium feel and classic aesthetic of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather surface thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner or balm to restore its luster and suppleness.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Leather uppers can soften and stretch slightly with wear; try breaking them in during shorter periods. Ensure you have the correct size for your foot.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes, removing the insole, dusting the inside with a small amount of baby powder, and then replacing the insole can resolve the issue.
Trainer odor.
After wearing, allow the trainers to air out in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure socks are worn to help absorb moisture.
Creases forming on the leather upper.
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing and apply leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather hydrated and flexible.

Care Instructions (for Leather Upper)
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather SL 72 trainers.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a quality leather protector spray before the first wear to help repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe away any surface dirt or dust using a soft, dry brush or a clean, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply it sparingly with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Wipe off any excess.
- Conditioning: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, apply a leather conditioner periodically (e.g., every few months or as needed). This will nourish the leather and restore its luster.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
