FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The adidas SL 72 OG are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. While they offer comfort for walking and everyday movement, they may not provide the advanced cushioning and support required for serious running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing it on a small, inconspicuous area first. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does 'OG' mean in the product name?
'OG' typically stands for 'Original,' indicating that these trainers are a reissue or reproduction of the original SL 72 model from the 1970s.
What is the main color of these trainers?
The main color is Pink, with secondary colors including Navy, along with specific details in 'Preloved Ink', 'Sandy Pink', and 'Preloved Crimson'.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to allow them to dry thoroughly if they do get wet.
What size is 'UK 5'?
UK 5 refers to a specific UK shoe sizing for adult women. It corresponds to a standard women's size, typically around a US women's 7.
Troubleshooting
Uneven fit
Adjust the lacing system to distribute pressure evenly. Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size. Break-in period may be required for leather.
Color transfer from pink to navy or vice versa
This is rare but can occur if the shoes get excessively wet. Ensure shoes are dry before storing. Use a leather protector spray.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. Proper fit and stuffing shoes when not in use can help minimize it. Avoid over-tightening laces in the toe area.
Slight discoloration after cleaning
Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first. Use only mild, leather-specific cleaners and a damp cloth, not soaking wet.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for pink and navy tones, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to prevent dust and maintain shape. Stuffing with paper can help retain their form when not in use.
