Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals SL72 OG trainers are designed for individuals who value heritage-inspired fashion combined with modern, lightweight comfort. Originally introduced as a revolutionary runner in 1972, this silhouette offers a perfect balance of retro style and everyday practicality, though its slim, low-profile design may provide less arch support than specialized high-performance athletic footwear.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the SL72 OG generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though the profile is quite slim.

Can I use these for running?

While originally a running shoe in 1972, today's model is primarily a lifestyle trainer and not recommended for modern long-distance running.

How do I protect the suede from rain?

Apply a water-repellent spray designed for suede to help protect against minor moisture, though it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy downpours.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper is crafted from breathable nylon with stylish suede and leather overlays.

Can the insoles be replaced?

The factory insoles are designed for this specific model, but they can be removed if you prefer to use your own orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cleaning suede overlays

Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt; avoid liquid cleaners which may watermark the material.

Creasing at the toe box

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize material fatigue.

Slippery insoles or heel slippage

Ensure the laces are securely fastened using a runner's loop if necessary, or consider a thicker sock.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction prevents fatigue during long walks
  • Breathable materials suitable for warmer conditions
  • Iconic, timeless design that fits modern casual wardrobes
  • EVA midsole offers effective everyday cushioning

Cons

  • Low-profile design lacks high-arch support for demanding activities
  • Light-colored or suede materials may require frequent cleaning
  • Not intended for high-intensity gym training or distance running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are classic trainers, there is no technical setup required. To maintain the appearance of the suede and leather components, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt after each use. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the suede finish. If the nylon material becomes stained, use a mild soap with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. To ensure a comfortable fit, wear thin-to-medium-weight cotton socks that complement the narrow profile of the shoe.
