FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, the SL 72 RS is designed as a lifestyle trainer, not a technical performance running shoe.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These trainers follow standard adidas adult sizing conventions. It is recommended to stick to your typical adidas size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the safest way to preserve the materials and structure.
Are these trainers water-resistant?
The materials are not designed to be waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the fabric components.
What is the primary material used?
The SL 72 RS collection utilizes a mix of premium materials, including nylon and leather, depending on the specific model variation.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the white accents
Use a gentle rubber eraser or a white sneaker-specific cleaning solution to carefully buff out marks.
Creasing in the toe box area
This is normal with wear; use a shoe tree when storing the shoes to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For the nylon or leather portions, use a specialized sneaker cleaner if necessary.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the black material.
- Compatibility: These shoes fit true to standard adidas adult sizing; if you typically wear an 8.5 in other adidas models, the same size is recommended here.
- Maintenance: Periodically remove the laces to clean them separately if they become soiled to keep the white accents looking crisp.
