The adidas Originals SL 72 Animal trainers are designed for individuals who appreciate classic athletic style combined with modern comfort and a distinctive aesthetic. Paying homage to its 1970s running heritage, these trainers offer all-day wearability thanks to their lightweight cushioning and durable construction. However, their unique all-over leopard print pony hair textile upper and bold orange accents mean they make a strong fashion statement that may not suit every personal style.

While the original SL 72 was a pioneering running shoe, this modern version with its premium upper materials and design is primarily intended for casual wear and lifestyle, not high-performance sports or intensive running.
Use a soft brush (like a suede brush) to gently remove loose dirt. For stains, dab carefully with a cloth lightly dampened with water or a specialized cleaner for delicate materials. Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive water, or machine washing to protect the material.
EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a lightweight, flexible foam material that provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption. This contributes to the all-day comfort and support of the trainers.
They are designed with a 'regular fit.' We generally recommend ordering your usual UK size. If you're unsure or between sizes, consulting an adidas size guide or trying them on can be helpful.
While durable, the premium leather, suede, and pony hair textile upper are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions to preserve the materials. A protective spray designed for these materials can offer some water resistance.
The 'SL' stands for 'Super Light,' and '72' refers to the year 1972, when the original adidas SL 72 debuted as a lightweight running shoe, famously for the Munich Olympics. This version honors that legacy.
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for your foot's shape. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct UK size, as these feature a 'regular fit'.
For general dirt, gently wipe leather/textile with a damp cloth. For the pony hair, use a soft brush to remove debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners and always follow material-specific care instructions.
Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt/debris, which can reduce traction. Clean the outsole thoroughly as needed. Avoid overly slippery surfaces if traction is a concern.
This is normal for new shoes, especially those made with natural and premium materials. Allow them to air out in a well-ventilated area for a few days.
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your SL 72 trainers.
