FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The adidas SL 72 OG are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and comfort. They do not offer the specialized cushioning and support required for serious running or athletic performance.
How do I clean the blue and yellow parts of the trainers?
Gently wipe the affected areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede or mesh parts, use a soft brush. Always air dry and avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the main difference between the SL 72 OG and other adidas trainers?
The SL 72 OG is a reissue of an iconic 1970s running shoe, characterized by its vintage aesthetic, simpler construction, and often nylon or suede upper, distinguishing it from more modern, performance-focused models.
Does this model come in other colors?
The SL 72 OG series has been released in various colorways over time. This specific listing is for the blue and yellow variation.
What does 'OG' stand for in SL 72 OG?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original', indicating that this model is a reissue or retro of the original adidas SL 72 design.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials can withstand light moisture, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials and affect their longevity. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Consult the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. Different models may have slight variations. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit.
Color transfer from fabric
This can sometimes occur with new dyed fabrics. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially when wet. Consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for sneakers.
Creasing on the upper
Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather or synthetic uppers. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
