FAQs

What materials are the adidas SL 72 Trainers made from?

These trainers are crafted from a blend of premium leather and suede for the upper, a textile lining, a lightweight EVA midsole, and a durable rubber outsole.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

While sport-inspired, the adidas SL 72 Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear, comfort, and style, not high-performance running or specialized athletic activities.

How do I clean my adidas SL 72 Trainers?

For leather parts, wipe with a damp cloth. For suede, use a suede brush and a specialized suede cleaner. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

Do these trainers provide good arch support?

The lightweight EVA midsole offers cushioning support throughout the foot. For specific arch support needs, individual inserts can be added.

What is the significance of the 'SL 72' name?

The SL 72 model is historically significant as it was the first adidas shoe to debut the iconic Trefoil logo at a major sporting event, making it a piece of adidas heritage.

Can I wear these trainers all day?

Yes, with their lightweight EVA midsole and comfortable textile lining, the adidas SL 72 Trainers are designed for all-day comfort during casual wear.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure your foot is centered in the trainer. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size for your feet.

Suede part looks dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaning solution according to its instructions.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. If the outsole is excessively worn, the trainer's traction capabilities may be reduced.

Creases forming on the leather

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. Using shoe trees when not wearing them can help minimize prominent creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your adidas SL 72 Trainers is straightforward. Simply use the lace closure system to adjust the fit to your comfort. Ensure the laces are securely tied to prevent tripping and provide optimal support.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for versatile casual wear. They are a perfect complement to:

  • Everyday casual outfits (jeans, chinos, shorts)
  • Athleisure wear (tracksuits, leggings)
  • Light urban exploration and walking

Care

Proper care will help maintain the aesthetic and longevity of your trainers:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe down the leather sections with a damp cloth. For suede areas, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: If wet, allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for mixed materials (leather and suede) to help repel water and stains, especially for suede components.
