FAQs
Are these suitable for running?
While inspired by vintage running styles, the SL 72 OG is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday comfort and casual wear, not for performance running.
How do I clean the suede part of the shoe?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner as per its instructions. Avoid getting suede too wet.
Do these sneakers fit true to size?
Adidas sneakers generally fit true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. We recommend checking adidas's official sizing guide if you are unsure, or trying them on if possible.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended, especially due to the suede material. It can damage the materials and overall structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning is best.
What is the EVA midsole for?
The EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to the shoe's overall comfort for daily wear.
Are these sneakers waterproof?
No, these sneakers are not waterproof. The nylon and suede materials offer some resistance to light splashes, but they are not designed to keep your feet dry in heavy rain or wet conditions. A water-repellent spray can offer some protection.
What does 'OG' stand for?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original,' indicating that the design is a faithful re-issue or closely inspired by an initial or classic release from the brand's history.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in one direction for best results.
Sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Wear them for short periods around the house to break them in. The materials will soften and mold to your feet over time.
Light stains on nylon upper
Gently spot clean with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage.
Sole lacks grip on wet surfaces
While the rubber sole provides good general traction, exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces as no shoe is completely slip-proof.
Unpleasant odor inside the shoes
Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your SL 72 OG sneakers.
- General Cleaning: For nylon and rubber parts, gently wipe with a damp cloth using mild soap and water.
- Suede Cleaning: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid excessive water on suede.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both nylon and suede to protect against elements and accidental spills.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
