FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the SL 72 PT?
The SL 72 PT is inspired by the very first prototype of the adidas Originals SL 72, celebrating the evolution of footwear design.
What materials are used in the upper of these trainers?
The upper is constructed from 'Shadow Red' nylon with tonal 'Maroon' suede overlays.
How do the heel wedges contribute to comfort?
The cellular rubber heel wedges are designed to provide cushioning and comfort with each step.
What kind of grip do the outsoles offer?
The trainers feature saw-tooth outsoles, which are designed to offer reliable non-slip grip.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle, inspired by athletic aesthetics, rather than high-performance sports.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush to clean and maintain the suede. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, following the product's usage instructions.
What does 'PT' stand for in SL 72 PT?
The 'PT' likely refers to 'Prototype,' referencing the shoe's design inspiration.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Nylon upper feels stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in naturally. Avoid harsh cleaning methods that could stiffen the material further.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a material that offers better grip if the issue persists.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for grip, very smooth or wet surfaces can still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsoles are clean and free from debris that could affect traction.
