FAQs
Are the Adidas SL 72 RS suitable for running?
While inspired by a 1972 running shoe, the SL 72 RS is designed for casual, everyday wear and offers modern cushioning for comfort. They are not intended for high-performance athletic running.
What materials are these trainers made of?
The upper is primarily made of leather, with a synthetic lining and sockliner. The midsole is made of foam, and the outsole is rubber.
How do I clean the leather on my SL 72 RS trainers?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner, always testing on a small, hidden area first.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
Yes, the product description indicates they are suitable for unisex adult use.
What does the 'SL 72 RS' stand for?
'SL' typically refers to 'Super Light' in Adidas naming conventions, and '72' denotes the year of the original design's introduction. 'RS' likely indicates a modern re-interpretation or update.
How should I store my Adidas SL 72 RS when not in use?
It's best to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Natural to leather. Use a shoe tree to help maintain shape when not in use. Avoid excessive bending.
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try inserting a thin insert or powdering the insole lightly.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For significantly worn treads, consider replacement.
