Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your adidas SL 72 OG sneakers.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Lace Care: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately with mild detergent, then air-dried.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers) as these can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Deep Cleaning (Caution): For stubborn dirt, specialized sneaker cleaning kits can be used. Always follow the product's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first, especially if the upper material is sensitive (e.g., suede, if applicable to your specific variant).
