FAQs

How do I clean my adidas SL 72 RS sneakers?

For nylon, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For suede, use a suede brush and dedicated cleaner. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and use leather cleaner if needed. Always air dry.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

The adidas SL 72 RS is designed as a lifestyle sneaker, offering comfort and style for casual wear. It is not engineered for high-performance running or athletic sports.

What materials are used in the adidas SL 72 RS?

This model features a Leather and Textile (Nylon) Upper with suede detailing, and a Synthetic Sole, including an EVA midsole.

Can I wear them in rainy weather?

Due to the suede and leather components, it's best to avoid heavy rain. Water can stain suede and potentially damage leather over time. Consider using a protective spray.

What is the significance of the 'RS' in the name?

The 'RS' typically signifies a 'Reshaped' or 'Re-imagined' version of an original model, indicating updates to its design and construction while retaining core elements.

Footwear sizing can vary. It's generally recommended to refer to adidas's official size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit.

Where can I find the product code for these sneakers?

The product code for this specific model is IG2133. It can usually be found on the shoe box or inside the shoe's tongue label.

Troubleshooting

Suede areas appear dirty or scuffed

Gently brush with a specialized suede brush to lift dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth.

General dirt or grime on nylon upper

Wipe the nylon sections with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap solution. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue. Do not submerge the shoe.

Unpleasant odor from inside the shoe

Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Sole grip feels reduced or slippery

Inspect the sawtooth sole for embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly with a stiff brush and water to remove any dirt or mud that might be impacting traction.

Yellowing or discoloration of the white EVA midsole

Gently clean the EVA midsole with a mild detergent and a soft brush. For persistent yellowing, specialized sneaker cleaning solutions for midsoles may be used, following product instructions carefully.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your SL 72 RS, proper care is essential due to its mixed materials:

  1. General Cleaning: For the nylon upper and synthetic sole, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe away dirt.
  2. Suede Areas: For the suede toe bumper, heel, and eyestays, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear should be used. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Leather Accents: Gently wipe leather sections with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for footwear.
  4. Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain protector spray suitable for mixed materials to help guard against the elements, especially for the suede components.
  6. Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
