Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely tied but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement.
Break-In Period: Like most leather footwear, these shoes may feel slightly stiff during the first few wears. Allow for a short break-in period to conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort.
Attire: The adidas SL 72 RS is highly compatible with casual and smart-casual clothing. Its classic athletic aesthetic makes it a perfect match for denim, chinos, track pants, shorts, and casual dresses or skirts. The green and yellow colorway offers a versatile pop of color.
Activity: Best suited for daily wear, light walking, urban exploration, and social events. Not recommended for strenuous sports, running, or hiking.
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your adidas SL 72 RS, proper care is essential:
Cleaning Leather: For the green leather upper, gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the product instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Cleaning Suede Overlays: The crinkled suede requires specific care. Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the suede.
Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather and suede to crack or shrink.
Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-repellent spray designed for leather and suede before initial wear and periodically thereafter. This helps protect against moisture and dirt.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
