Adidas Originals SL 72 RS - Blue - UK 8.5

While inspired by track heritage, the Adidas Originals SL 72 RS is designed primarily for casual, everyday lifestyle wear rather than high-performance running or intense athletic activities.

For nylon areas, use a mild soap and a damp cloth. For suede overlays, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry away from heat.

Adidas Originals models, including the SL 72 RS, generally fit true to size for adults. For the best fit, we recommend trying them on if possible.

The nylon and suede materials are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or very wet conditions to preserve the shoe's appearance and structural integrity. For light dampness, allow them to air dry fully.

The shoe features a lightweight EVA midsole for cushioning and a durable rubber outsole with a serrated pattern for traction and grip.

The 'RS' in SL 72 RS often indicates a 'Re-Shaped' or 'Re-Sole' version, signifying a modern update to the original SL 72 silhouette, particularly with the chunkier sole design for enhanced comfort and contemporary appeal.

This specific variant is listed for 'Male', but the classic and versatile design of the SL 72 RS often makes it appealing to individuals regardless of gender for a unisex style.

The product code for the Adidas Originals SL 72 RS is JR8789.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's bed. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch, then replacing the insole.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction to restore its texture and appearance. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot, especially for activities that involve more movement. Regularly check laces for wear and tear and replace them if frayed.

Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. You can also use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing).

For EVA midsoles, a mild cleaning solution (soap and water) and a soft brush or magic eraser can often remove light scuffs. Be gentle to avoid damaging the material.
