Sneakers adidas SL 72 Rs - Blue/White - UK 9.5

The SL 72 Rs trainers are a modern revival of the iconic adidas SL 72, originally released in 1972. They combine heritage design elements with contemporary comfort features for everyday wear.

While they offer good traction and a supportive fit for everyday activities, they are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle rather than high-intensity athletic performance.

The trainers feature a durable upper made from a combination of nylon and suede, with a classic rubber outsole.

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and a suede eraser for marks. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.

The 'Rs' in SL 72 Rs typically indicates a 'reissue' or 'revival' version, often featuring updated materials or minor design tweaks for modern wear while staying true to the original aesthetic.

While the rubber outsole provides traction, the nylon and suede upper is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the materials, especially the suede.

These trainers are available in various adult male UK sizes. Please refer to the sizing chart for specific measurements.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe's last shape is compatible with your foot.

Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris and clean it with a damp cloth. Ensure the surface you are walking on is not excessively slippery.

This can sometimes occur with new, dark-colored footwear. It is often reduced after the first few wears or washes (if applicable and following care instructions). Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing.
