Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals SL72 OG trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of vintage running heritage and contemporary casual style. These iconic shoes offer exceptional lightweight comfort thanks to their EVA midsole and breathable construction, making them a perfect choice for daily wear. One caveat to keep in mind is that the low-profile design provides minimal arch support compared to modern performance-focused running shoes, so they are best suited for lifestyle and leisure activities rather than high-impact exercise.

FAQs

Are the adidas SL72 OG true to size?

Most users find them to be true to size, but since they have a narrow, low-profile cut, those with wider feet may prefer to size up by half.

Can these be machine washed?

No, machine washing can damage the glue and the delicate suede/leather components. Always clean them by hand.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is a mix of breathable synthetic material, leather accents, and suede overlays.

Is this shoe intended for running?

While originally a running shoe in 1972, this 'OG' model is intended for lifestyle and casual wear.

What does 'Ecotex tongue' mean?

It is a specific textured material used for the tongue to add visual depth and unique style to the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede overlays

Allow dirt to dry completely and gently lift it away using a suede-specific brush or a clean, dry cloth.

Creasing at the toe box

This is common with leather and nylon trainers. Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Midsole feels compressed or worn

If the cushioning is no longer responsive, consider using an aftermarket supportive orthotic insole if more arch support is required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, lightweight retro-running aesthetic
  • Breathable materials perfect for warmer weather
  • Versatile design suitable for casual and semi-casual settings
  • Comfortable EVA midsole for everyday impact absorption

Cons

  • Low-profile design offers limited arch support
  • Not suitable for high-intensity athletic performance
  • Suede and leather accents require careful maintenance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. For the leather and suede sections, use a specialized soft-bristled brush to remove dirt after it dries. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent the leather from cracking. Because these are a unisex fit, verify your UK size against the standard adidas sizing charts before purchase to ensure the optimal fit.
