FAQs

Are the adidas SL 72 OG sneakers suitable for running or sports?

No, while inspired by running shoes, the SL 72 OG is designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. It provides everyday comfort and style, but it is not intended for performance running or intense sports activities.

How do I clean the suede and textile parts of my sneakers?

For suede, use a suede brush and eraser. For textile, gently wipe with a cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid saturating the materials, especially suede.

Do these sneakers run true to size?

Generally, adidas SL 72 models tend to run true to size. We recommend trying your usual adidas size. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing specific sizing charts if available.

Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in heavy rain or very wet conditions due to the textile and suede materials. Exposure to excessive moisture can damage the materials and affect their longevity.

What is the sole made of?

The sneaker features a lightweight EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole for cushioning and a durable grippy rubber outsole for traction.

Are the crochet accents delicate?

The crochet accents are integrated into the design for texture and style. While durable for normal wear, avoid snagging them on sharp objects to maintain their appearance.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or stains on the textile upper.

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft cloth dampened with a solution of mild soap and water. Pat dry immediately.

Suede overlays appear matted or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser.

Reduced grip from the rubber sole.

Clean the sole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove accumulated dirt and debris that can reduce traction.

Unpleasant odor from inside the shoe.

Allow the shoes to air out regularly. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling a small amount of baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing).

Sneakers feel uncomfortable after initial wear.

Like many shoes, these may require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow them to conform to your feet.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your SL 72 OG sneakers:

  1. General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently brush off loose debris with a soft-bristled brush.
  2. Textile Areas: For the textile upper, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth or sponge. Gently dab and wipe the affected area. Avoid oversaturating the material.
  3. Suede Overlays: Suede requires specialized care. Use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid water as much as possible on suede; if it gets wet, let it air dry away from direct heat, then brush gently.
  4. Rubber Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain grip.
  5. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
  6. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  7. Avoid Machine Washing: Never put these sneakers in a washing machine or dryer, as it can damage the materials and construction.
