To ensure the longevity and appearance of your adidas Originals SL 72 OG trainers, follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning: For textile areas, gently wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For leather components, use a reputable leather shoe cleaner and conditioner. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Stain Removal: Address stains promptly. For stubborn leather stains, specialized leather cleaning solutions may be needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the material.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to crack or warp.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or tumble dry these trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure.
