FAQs
What type of user is this product best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for adults who appreciate retro sneaker style and need comfortable footwear for everyday casual activities, such as walking, socializing, or light commuting.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas SL72 OG trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or intense athletic activities.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart and compare it with your UK foot measurement. It is also recommended to read customer reviews regarding fit, as some users may find them to run slightly large or small.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper material can vary depending on the specific colourway. Some versions feature nylon, while others incorporate leather accents. Please check the product details for the specific pair you are interested in.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and soft brush is the preferred method to maintain the integrity and appearance of the materials.
What kind of grip does the outsole provide?
The outsole is made of durable rubber and features a textured grip tread designed to offer stability and traction on various urban surfaces.
What does 'OG' stand for in the product name?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original' or 'Originale', indicating that these trainers are a reissue or faithful reproduction of an original model from the adidas archives.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up fastening to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. If the sizing is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Tread appears worn quickly.
Ensure you are using the trainers on appropriate surfaces. Excessive use on abrasive surfaces can accelerate outsole wear. Inspect for any embedded objects causing damage.
Discoloration or staining on materials.
Consult the care instructions for the specific material (nylon or leather). For minor stains, try spot cleaning with a mild detergent. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.
Midsole feels less cushioned over time.
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning that may slightly compress with extended use. This is normal wear. For significantly reduced cushioning, consider replacing the trainers.
