FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?

While inspired by track shoes, the adidas Originals SL 72 RS are primarily designed for casual wear and city exploration. They are not recommended for high-performance running or intense sports activities.

How do I determine my correct size?

We recommend referring to the adidas size guide available on their official website. If possible, try them on in-store, or measure your foot and compare it to the size chart for accuracy.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the nylon, suede, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the spot cleaning and air drying care instructions.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper primarily consists of retro nylon with soft suede overlays and accents, offering a blend of breathability and classic style.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The EVA midsole provides general cushioning and comfort. For individuals requiring specific arch support, custom orthotics or insoles may be considered, provided they fit comfortably within the shoe.

How durable is the ripple outsole?

The ripple outsole is designed for reliable traction and durability during everyday wear on urban surfaces. Its performance and lifespan will vary based on usage frequency and surface types encountered.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Lacing can affect fit; try loosening the laces or adjusting them to better distribute pressure across your foot. Break them in gradually with short wears.

Nylon upper looks dirty or discolored.

Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap solution and cold water. Gently wipe the nylon. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used, but avoid harsh scrubbing which might damage the material.

Suede accents appear matted or stained.

For matted suede, use a dry suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions. Always brush in one direction after cleaning.

Compatibility

Care Instructions

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your SL 72 RS sneakers:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs on the nylon, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently wipe the affected area.
  2. Suede Care: For suede accents, use a soft-bristle brush (like a dedicated suede brush) to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used cautiously. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can deform the shoes and damage the materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Stuffing them with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
