FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the SL 72 OG fits true to standard UK sizing, though the silhouette is inherently slim.

Can these be used for running?

While originally designed as runners in the 70s, modern materials offer better support. These are best reserved for casual lifestyle wear.

How should I clean the nylon or fabric parts?

Use a soft brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent, gently scrubbing the fabric before letting them air dry.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the SL 72 series comes in various colorways including beige, cream, and pink.

Is the material waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective water-repellent spray if you plan on wearing them in damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Creasing at the toe box

This is common with retro trainers; use shoe trees when not wearing them to help maintain the original shape.

White areas getting dirty

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft cloth to gently wipe white surfaces after each use.

  • Versatile black and white color scheme

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your SL 72 OG trainers last, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. If the upper gets dirty, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the material. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white accents. Ensure you select the correct UK size, as this particular model fits true to traditional retro sizing; if you typically require extra room, consider checking if a half-size larger is available.
