FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The SL 72 OG W trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic-inspired style. While they offer comfort and traction, they lack the advanced cushioning and support features of modern dedicated running shoes.
What materials are the trainers made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable nylon and suede overlays. The midsole is made of EVA for cushioning, and the outsole is rubber for traction.
How should I clean the yellow nylon and suede?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For suede, a suede brush can be used for dry dirt, and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid soaking the shoes and allow them to air dry.
What does 'OG' in the product name mean?
OG typically stands for 'Original'. In this context, it signifies that the shoe is a re-release or faithful reproduction of an original design from the past, maintaining its classic aesthetic.
Are these trainers unisex?
This particular model, the SL 72 OG W, is designed with women's sizing and fit in mind. While the style is often popular across genders, it is specified as a women's trainer.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The nylon and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may require specific waterproofing treatments.
What is the purpose of the gold 'SL 72' branding?
The gold 'SL 72' branding is a heritage detail that pays homage to the original SL 72 model, adding a subtle, classic touch that signifies the shoe's lineage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially and allow the shoes to naturally stretch with wear. Consider using a shoe stretcher if needed for persistent tightness.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following product instructions carefully.
Traction seems reduced
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the tread pattern is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.
Color transfer onto socks
This can occur with new, brightly colored footwear. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially or wash the shoes once (following care instructions) to remove excess dye.
