FAQs
Are the adidas SL 72 OG suitable for running?
No, the SL 72 OG trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They offer comfort for walking and everyday activities but lack the specific cushioning and support required for running or intense athletic training.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
It is recommended to try the trainers on indoors on a clean surface. They should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight, with adequate room in the toe box. Refer to adidas' official sizing chart for detailed measurements if unsure.
What is the primary material of the SL 72 OG?
The SL 72 OG typically features a combination of nylon and suede or synthetic leather overlays, reflecting its retro design. Specific material composition may vary slightly by colorway.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
How long does the break-in period usually last?
The break-in period can vary from person to person. For most users, the trainers should feel comfortable after a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly and consider if the size is appropriate.
What does 'OG' stand for in the product name?
'OG' stands for 'Original'. In the context of the SL 72 OG, it signifies that this model is a reissue or revival of the original adidas SL 72 trainer, maintaining its classic design elements.
Where can I find other available colors or sizes?
Information on variant colorways and sizes can often be found on the product's retail page or by checking with authorized adidas retailers. The product may have sibling variants listed with different color and size attributes.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to new materials rubbing together. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the shoe. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Color transfer from trainers to socks
This is more common with darker or brightly colored footwear, especially when new and in damp conditions. It should reduce over time. Ensure trainers are dry before wearing and consider wearing darker socks initially.
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot. If the fit remains uncomfortable, consider the break-in period or exploring other sizes.
Dirt or scuff marks on the upper
Use a damp cloth and mild soap solution with a soft brush for cleaning. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously on specific non-fabric parts, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your SL 72 OG trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Soles: Use a dedicated shoe brush or an old toothbrush to clean the rubber soles, removing dirt and debris.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a garment bag in the washing machine.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
