Full details
The adidas SL 72 OG Leopard Print trainers are designed for fashion-forward women seeking a blend of iconic retro style and bold aesthetics.

They are built with signature adidas cushioning for comfort and a rubber outsole for traction, making them versatile for casual wear.

Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or discolored
Ensure the suede is not exposed to excessive moisture. Use a specialized suede cleaner and conditioner if discoloration occurs. Brush regularly to maintain texture.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that might be affecting grip. Check for significant wear on the tread pattern.
General wear and tear on seams
Inspect seams regularly and avoid stress on the shoe. For minor fraying, a fabric glue designed for textiles can be carefully applied.
