FAQs
What is the primary material of the adidas SL 72 RS Trainers?
The upper primarily features suede overlays on a knit/mesh base, with a synthetic lining.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While inspired by racing silhouettes and offering good comfort, they are best suited for casual wear and light activities rather than high-performance athletic training.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Gently brush with a suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to saturate the material. Always air dry away from heat.
What kind of fit do these trainers offer?
They feature a regular fit with a traditional lacing system for a precise and customizable fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The trainers are not designed for heavy rain. The suede and mesh construction offers limited water resistance. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to preserve the material.
What is the main difference between the SL 72 and SL 72 RS models?
The SL 72 RS is a reinterpretation of the original SL 72 racing silhouette, often featuring updated materials and colorways while maintaining the core retro aesthetic.
Does Drop Zone guarantee the authenticity of these shoes?
Yes, Drop Zone guarantees 100% original and genuine products, having sold authentic branded shoes online for over 10 years.
Troubleshooting
Suede looking faded or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or a professional suede cleaner can be employed.
Laces becoming untied frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a strong knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Foot discomfort after wearing
Verify the fit and ensure laces are adjusted properly. If the issue persists, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning or support, though this may alter the shoe's internal volume.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole to remove any debris that might be hindering grip. Be aware that rubber outsoles may have reduced traction on very wet or slippery surfaces, regardless of cleaning.
