While the adidas Originals SL 72 OG has roots in track and field, it is primarily designed as a casual lifestyle shoe for everyday wear and urban adventures, not for high-performance running or intense athletic training.
To help maintain the color, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when storing. Clean gently with mild soap and water, and avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing that could fade the dye. Consider a fabric protector spray with UV inhibitors if available.
'OG' stands for 'Original,' indicating that the design is a direct reissue or closely inspired by the original 1972 adidas SL 72 model, celebrating its heritage.
The adidas Originals SL 72 OG generally runs true to size with a regular fit for UK 7.5. However, individual foot shapes and preferences can vary. It's always recommended to consult a size guide or try them on if possible.
The nylon and suede materials offer limited water resistance. For heavy rain or very wet conditions, it's advisable to wear waterproof footwear to protect the materials and your feet. A water and stain repellent spray can offer some minor protection.
The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For optimal appearance and longevity, clean them regularly to remove dirt and dust, especially the suede parts, to prevent buildup.
Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing patterns or adjust the tension. Ensure you have the correct size for your foot; foot size can change throughout the day, so try them on at different times.
Check if the insole is properly seated within the shoe. Sometimes new rubber outsoles can cause temporary squeaking; this often subsides with regular wear. A light dusting of baby powder under the insole can also help.
Act quickly to treat stains. Use a specialized suede brush and eraser for dry dirt and scuffs. For liquid stains, blot gently with a clean cloth before applying a suede cleaner designed for the material. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Wipe down the nylon sections with a soft cloth dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the fabric.
