FAQs
Are the adidas SL 72 OG suitable for running?
The SL 72 OG are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and comfort. They are not engineered with the advanced support and cushioning required for serious running or athletic training.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to check the adidas sizing chart available on their official website. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart can help. Consider trying them on if possible, as vintage-style fits can vary.
Can I wash my SL 72 OG trainers?

What is the main difference between the SL 72 and SL 72 OG?
The 'OG' designation typically signifies an original or retro reissue of the classic model. While core design elements are retained, OG versions might incorporate slight updates in materials or construction for modern wearability while staying true to the original aesthetic.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The SL 72 OG are not inherently waterproof. The materials used, particularly suede and nylon, can absorb water. Protective sprays can offer some water resistance.

Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dirty or scuffed
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush in one direction. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks. If they are still uncomfortable, consider using shoe stretchers designed for leather and suede, or consult a cobbler for professional stretching.
Outsole appears worn
Check for any loose parts. While normal wear is expected, significant wear may reduce traction. For minor issues, a shoe repair professional might offer sole reinforcement.
Discoloration on fabric or suede
Avoid exposure to excessive moisture and direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean gently with appropriate cleaners for each material type.
