Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to maintain the shape of the upper and minimize deep creases in the fabric.

Use a specialized rubber eraser or a magic sponge to gently buff out marks on the white midsole edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas SL 72 PT trainers maintain their look, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt from the nylon and midsole areas. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains.
- Avoid Immersion: Do not machine wash or submerge these trainers in water, as this may compromise the adhesives and material integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the gold and blue components.
- Air Dry: If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers.
