Originally making waves as a running shoe in the '70s, this iteration features a unique pony hair upper, a lightweight EVA midsole, and a durable rubber outsole, making it a stylish choice for everyday wear. A key feature is its distinctive aesthetic, though the pony hair material requires specific care to maintain its look.

In footwear, 'pony hair' typically refers to a smooth, soft leather that retains its natural hair, often from a calf or goat. It is then processed and sometimes printed, as seen with the leopard pattern on these trainers. It offers a luxurious and textured finish.
While the original SL 72 series had a running heritage, this specific 'OG' version with its fashion-forward pony hair upper is primarily designed for casual wear and style, not for athletic performance running or rigorous sports activities.
To protect the pony hair, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh conditions like heavy rain or mud. Consider using a protective spray specifically designed for delicate textiles and animal prints, always testing the product on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers. The delicate materials, especially the pony hair and leather, can be significantly damaged by machine washing. Hand cleaning, as described in the care section, is the advised method.
These adidas SL 72 OG shoes are designed with a regular fit. Most wearers find them to be true to their usual UK shoe size, providing a comfortable and standard fit. However, individual foot shapes can influence the perceived fit.
The lightweight EVA midsole provides cushioning and basic support for everyday wear. While comfortable, they are not specifically designed as an orthopedic shoe with advanced arch support. For specific needs, custom inserts may be considered.
Gently brush the pony hair in one direction with a soft brush (e.g., a suede brush) to restore its natural texture and shine. Avoid circular motions.
Check if the insoles are properly seated within the shoe. Sometimes, a slightly misaligned or loose insole can cause squeaking. Removing and reinserting it, or sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath, often resolves the issue.
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but comfortable fit, allowing for natural foot expansion throughout the day. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size; adidas SL 72 OG shoes generally feature a regular fit, but individual foot shapes can vary.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing its grip. A stiff brush and water can be effective, ensuring the shoes are fully air-dried afterward.
To ensure you get the most out of your adidas Originals SL 72 OG Animal Print Trainers, follow these guidelines for initial setup, pairing with outfits, and ongoing maintenance.
Proper care will help maintain the unique look and longevity of your trainers, especially the pony hair upper.
