FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on vintage running silhouettes, the SL 72 RS is primarily a lifestyle trainer intended for casual walking and daily wear.
How do I determine my size?
The SL 72 RS generally follows standard UK sizing. If you have worn other Adidas Originals footwear, your usual size is likely the best fit.
Are the materials durable?
Yes, they are constructed with durable materials suitable for everyday use, though proper care will extend their lifespan.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash your trainers in a machine, as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Stick to manual cleaning.
Does the colour fade easily?
The black and white finish is designed to be durable, but it should be kept out of direct, intense sunlight for prolonged periods when not in use to maintain colour integrity.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white sections
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning brush and a gentle cleanser to spot-clean the white details without soaking the upper.
Creasing in the toe box
This is normal with wear; use shoe trees when storing the shoes to help them retain their shape between uses.
Laces becoming untied
Ensure a double knot is used if you are walking for extended periods, or replace with shorter laces if the provided ones are excessive.
