  • Classic retro aesthetic that remains fashionable

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas SL 72 RS trainers maintain their appearance, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the upper materials. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the materials. Check your specific UK size for the best fit, as the unisex sizing may differ slightly from gender-specific models. For optimal comfort, ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure fit across the midfoot without causing pressure points.
