FAQs
Are the adidas Originals SL72 OG Trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by archival racing shoes. They are designed for casual wear, urban exploration, and everyday comfort, not for high-performance running or athletic sports.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, apply a suede cleaner as directed by the product's instructions. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The nylon and suede upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. Exposure to heavy rain or puddles may cause damage and absorb moisture.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
The trainers feature a regular fit. Most users find them to fit true to their standard shoe size. However, individual foot shapes vary, so checking adidas's size guide is always recommended.
What is the EVA midsole made of and what does it do?
EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a lightweight, flexible, and cushioning material used in the midsole to absorb impact, provide comfort, and support your feet during daily activities.
Can I put my SL72 OG Trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Follow the specific care instructions for cleaning the nylon and suede upper.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the tension of the lace-up closure. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the most comfortable fit for your foot shape. Ensure the padded cuff is sitting correctly around your ankle.
Suede areas appear dull or have light stains.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner according to product instructions, then brush once dry. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh chemicals.
Poor grip on wet or slippery surfaces.
While the rubber outsole offers good textured grip, its performance can be limited on extremely wet or icy conditions. Exercise caution and avoid running or quick movements on such surfaces. These trainers are primarily designed for dry urban environments.
Foul odor developing inside the shoe.
Ensure trainers are fully aired out after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally for separate cleaning and airing. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Always wear socks to prevent moisture buildup.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the nylon sections, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe away dirt. For the suede overlays, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede cleaner for tougher spots. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
