FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a 70s track design, they are intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than modern athletic performance.
Do these fit true to size?
The SL 72 OG is generally designed to follow standard adult sizing; however, individual fit preference for suede trainers can vary.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
We recommend applying a high-quality, water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede to add a layer of protection.
Is this a unisex model?
This specific variant is designed for women, though the series includes various unisex and gender-specific options.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on suede
Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently lift debris in a consistent motion.
Minor scuff marks
Use a clean suede eraser to gently rub the affected area until the mark lifts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SL 72 OG trainers remain in top condition, avoid wearing them in wet or muddy conditions, as water can damage the suede texture. For cleaning, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. If a deeper clean is required, apply a dedicated suede cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these methods will likely compromise the shape and integrity of the materials. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
