Adidas Originals SL 72 RS - Blue - UK 9

While the SL 72 RS has origins in athletic tracks, this reimagined version is primarily designed for casual wear and urban adventures, not high-performance running or sports activities.

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher grime, a specialized leather cleaner suitable for the material can be used. Always let them air dry completely away from direct heat.

These shoes feature a 'regular fit' and a lace closure, allowing for personal adjustment. They are designed to feel comfortable and secure for everyday wear.

The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to protect the material and maintain shoe longevity.

The SL 72 RS stands out due to its direct heritage from a 1970s Olympic track shoe, reimagined with modern comfort features like the EVA midsole, while retaining its iconic retro silhouette and branding, making it a unique blend of past and present.

The shoes are described as having a 'regular fit.' Generally, adidas models are true to size, but individual foot shape can influence the ideal fit. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size.

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned across the foot for a secure yet comfortable 'regular fit'. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or minor moisture. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside to reduce friction. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing.

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For dullness, apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish appropriate for the color. For minor scuffs, a specialized leather restorer pen may help. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
