Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas SL 72 OG trainers maintain their appearance, keep them away from excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. If the shoes become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris. For light surface stains, a damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient; avoid machine washing as this may compromise the structural materials. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from fading or losing shape. Compatibility-wise, these trainers feature a standard fit, so it is recommended to stick to your usual sizing for the best comfort experience.
