FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While originally designed as a performance running shoe in the 70s, modern technology has far surpassed this model. It is best used as a casual lifestyle sneaker today.
How should I clean the white accents?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the white leather or synthetic details, being careful not to get the suede areas wet.
Is the sizing consistent with other adidas models?
The SL 72 OG typically fits true to size, though the slim cut means those with wider feet might prefer a half-size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive holding the sole, significantly reducing the lifespan of the shoe.
What is the primary material used?
The upper features high-quality suede overlays, staying true to the vintage design specifications of the original release.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a soft suede brush to gently scrub the surface in the direction of the nap to restore the texture.
Trainer feels too tight
Ensure laces are loosened properly across the entire eyelet range, as the retro construction is inherently slim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature suede material, proper care is essential to maintain their look. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain, as moisture can damage the texture of the suede. If they become dirty, use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift debris. To ensure compatibility, consider that this model generally fits true to size, but the slim cut may feel snug for those with wider feet. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
