Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your adidas SL 72 RS:
Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, gently wipe the nylon and suede areas with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, but avoid saturating the materials.
Suede Care: For suede sections, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dried dirt and restore the nap. A suede protector spray can also help repel water and stains.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately if they become dirty.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation and discoloration.
